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.
“The Story of Creating “Air Going South’”
Standing in front of my easel while working on ‘Air Going South,’ I feel a deep connection to the creative process. Each stroke of the palette knife tells a story of choices made in the moment, blending intention with freedom. This abstract landscape painting by John Robertson captures the beauty of exploration and the courage to embrace the unexpected, revealing a scene that feels both familiar and new.
"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. It’s not about the field itself but about capturing the essence of the moment, the feeling of standing in that space. This piece is about the flow of energy and the dance of textures on the canvas.
"The Art of Letting Go”
In 'Soft Loam,' I explore the delicate balance between intention and spontaneity in my art. As the brush moves across the canvas, the painting begins to take on a life of its own, evolving in ways I hadn't initially planned. It's this unpredictability that keeps the creative process exciting, allowing the colors and textures to find their own path. This blog post delves into the journey of creating 'Soft Loam,' where trusting the process led to a surprising and meaningful result.
How the Horizon Shapes My Semi-Abstract Landscapes
the significance of the horizon line—a line shaped by a lifetime of ocean views. This blog delves into how that simple line provides a foundation for my art, connecting the viewer to the piece and offering a sense of direction in abstraction.
"Exploring the Cathartic, Expressive Nature of Art
Art has a unique power to cleanse and renew the spirit. "On the Horizon" reflects this process through rough textures and sweeping lines. This painting is a journey of letting go and embracing the courage to express originality, evoking emotions that connect us to something deeper.
