This was the same day at Marsh Creek Lake when we started out in thick fog. The sun came out and the clouds started building. When the wind started kicking up we knew it was time to start working our way back to the boat ramp. It started raining as we got the boat on the trailer.
My art is inspired by nature. I always had a love for the outdoors so it was just natural that my art followed that direction.
I paint both on location and in the studio. My outdoor work is necessary for capturing the different qualities of light and the ever changing moods of nature. My studio work is fed by all the information I get from painting outdoors, except now I have time to think and plan at a more leisurely pace.I head to the outdoors as a stress reliever and that is exactly what my paintings are about-a peaceful retreat from life’s hectic pace.
