When Painting a Landscape See the Land Differently
From the Earth strips away color to reveal the raw patterns of farmland. Black and white allow the lines, contrast, and textures to shine, capturing the rhythm of row crops, the weight of the sky, and the structure of the land in its purest form. The absence of color makes the landscape's structure more powerful, with farm fields stretching to the horizon, their lines pulling the eye forward. The sky, scraped and textured, mirrors the roughness of the land, presenting farmland through form rather than hue. Painting this piece felt like working the land itself, with a palette knife scraping and layering the paint.
Artists Inspire Each Other in a Creative Loop
Gillian and I got to talking about how artists inspire each other. And that I had inspired some of her art students. It’s like this never-ending cycle of creativity.

"The Art of Conveying Emotion in Landscape Painting"
In “Gleesome Saunter over Fields,” I explore how colors and lines come together to convey more than just a landscape.
