"When we speak of light we mean that enveloping,
radiating, diffusing something that transmutes
our everyday world into a liveable and beautiful place."
John F. Carlson

Painting is a passion for me. It is something I am driven to do. As my work evolves or progresses, I strive to not overwork a painting and to keep it spontaneous. I want the final work to be lively and impulsive; loose brushwork and color harmony can make that point. If I have tediously rendered the subject, I feel that I am hitting the viewer over the head with it. A tree can look more lively and natural with a few intuitive strokes of paint than if it were meticulously drawn making every leaf painfully apparent.
I have added four new works inspired from trips to Brazos Bend State Park in Texas to the southern Caribbean. You never know where you might find a scene worthy of a painting.
What do you think? How do you feel about a landscape painting? What draws you to an original work of art and touches you emotionally?
Drop me a line,
Janet
