At the moment between sundown and darkness or sunrise and the light of the day there is a transformative spirit of place which I try to capture in my paintings. I have focused on Florida’s big skies, multi-colored layers of cloud, land, and water to create my vision. In the natural beauty of the landscape I recognize a spiritual power and vanishing purity.
In the last year I have been drawn to other sides of Florida, crowded beaches as well as scenes of downtown Orlando. My intention is to convey and capture moments of time and place focusing on the atmospheric quality, emotion and psyche emphasized by a Neo-Impressionistic painting style and expressionistic color palette.
