Landscape
Memory has a part in my paintings. I often wait years to return to a place I saw in particular conditions. Memory smoothes the inevitable changes which happen in the time it takes to create a painting. The light changes continually, while you work, and with the seasons. The sun lowers in the sky at the fall equinox, en route to the cool winter solstice. Clouds scurry, reform and recolor. Shadows lengthen. The Northern sky is closer to the earth than nearer the equator. These thoughts play in the background of one’s mind, while recording present moments outdoors, in plein air.
