What a Tiny Painting Taught Me About Scale
I've always leaned toward painting large. Most of my landscapes measure at least 5 by 6 feet, with some stretching to 4 by 8 feet. Enter my new obsession: small-scale impressionistic landscapes. These pieces are tiny compared to what I’m used to—think 5 by 7 inches instead of feet. Despite its size, that painting felt enormous and practically dominated his living room. How did the artist pull that off? I still don’t know.
Plein Air: Painting Feelings, Not Scenes
andscape; I’m in it, reacting to it. The sound of wind through the trees, the smell of the earth, or the way the sky shifts color as the sun drops—it all filters into my work. Even though the result might not resemble what’s in front of me, it feels like I’ve captured something real.
Blending Nature and Art
Living where the city meets the countryside, I’ve found endless inspiration in the farm fields around me. These fields aren’t just patches of land; they’re living, breathing canvases that change with the seasons. What I love most about these landscapes is their emotional depth. Each field tells a story of hope, despair, plenty, and want. It’s a constant cycle of change, much like life itself. Expressionism is at the core of my work. I strive to capture the essence of these landscapes with passion and intensity. Each painting is a celebration of the beauty around us, a testament to the power of nature-inspired art.
