Plein Air Winner
This is the painting "Sunrise on the Coral Canal" that won the award in the Paint the Cape competition. I really had fun doing it, although it was really cold out there at 6:30 AM!
My home in Florida provides a vast array of subject matter with tropical themes, foliage and architecture. These themes and the related strong compositional elements have allowed me to explore the color, light, and space which play an important role in all of my work.My latest focus has been a series of paintings of the rivers and other waters that I paddle in my kayak. My waterproof digital camera is my constant companion in the kayak, recording impressions and views for me to work on later in the studio.I hope to paint these landscapes before they disappear, and I hope to influence the preservation of these places for future generations.I would like my paintings to express the feelings of romance and wonder that are inherent in these landscapes.
