IMPRESSIONS OF PLACE
contemporary  'plein-air' oil paintings

Imagine walking in the woods on a snowy day.  The absolute quiet is intoxicating!  The colors of snow... the shadows and reflections; the sights, sounds and smells fill the air; and always, the light.  Add an easel, some paints, an artist willing to embrace the possiblities of Nature and you're ready for the adventure of
"plein-air" painting.

"I'm inspired by this challenge.  Anyone who has ever walked through a forest especially in winter, has felt its dignity and monumentality. Painting is my way of preserving that experience and sharing it with others.  It's my 'true north'."
