Landscapes
The art of the landscape: not a trivial pursuit, and worthy of full-time practice, although for me it is currently an area of part-time inquiry. You will see a variety of influences at work here. It is true to say that I lionize Paul Cezanne — a man who single-handedly reinvented painting — and who is accepted as a pre-eminent master of colour. As for subject matter, I tend to work from images and locations that I know; my home on Bowen Island, BC, provides many ideas and subject matter.
I also work from photographs or invented ideas. Many of the paintings you see displayed here are in private collections on Bowen Island and elsewhere, but if a particular image grabs you, feel free to contact me regarding its status.
