Why Landscape?

February 12, 2019

Does the world really need another landscape painting?  Not a chance.  So why bother you may well ask.  My answer is this:  I like painting landscapes.  And I like trees.

Everything about landscape painting appeals to me.  I enjoy being out in the landscape and I enjoy being in my studio working on a landscape painting.  Even though a literal depiction of a landscape is not high on my list of priorities, I love it when a painting  resonates with a sense of place.

I recently worked from some sketches I did a while back.  Here’s the finished painting.
