Soul Sisters - Oil

"Great art is the outward expression of an inner life of the artist and will result in his personal vision of the world." Edward Hopper

 

The painting shown above, Soul Sisters, was done from a photograph not my own but upon request. I am a professional impressionist oil painter as well as a landscape painter who will work from your photographs to create that special something for you to cherish be it a favorite place, person or pet. Just a few things I specialize in are still life paintings as well as landscape paintings.  I do many shows in Denver CO where you can check out my paintings.

 

I paint because I am drawn to it like a moth to the light. Painting is fundamental to my understanding and expressing life as I see it. Both nature and people stimulate me. I love the beauty of life; there isn’t enough time to put down everything that excites me. It could be an object, it could be the light, or the expression or fleeting impression of a moment caught in time.

 

When I create a piece of art, I first block in large basic shapes. Then I look for where I want movement within the piece, where I want my viewer to go. I try to keep that movement in mind as the painting progresses. Drawing the viewer in and keeping them involved in the scene is key; to “walk into the scene” and lead them to novel discoveries, both visual and personal; to give the viewer a chance to see a different perspective of something very commonplace.
