I like to incorporate roads, power poles, signs, fences, houses and farm
buildings to give scale and reference to the painting. The road, the tilled
land with fence rows, trees, and bushes left to themselves are always fair
game for a sketch. I search out common place scenes with an unusual twist of
topography, color or detail and try to show the observer how interesting
these landscapes really are.
I paint in full sunlight, which lets me see the form, shape, and volume
of everything in its path. Also, the character of the sunlight comes through
in my pastels as the time of year or the time of day whether the landscape
is lit from low in the sky or directly overhead. Even the heat or cold; the
wet or dry; the calm or wind of the weather conditions appear through to my
drawings from my direct exposure to the conditions at the time.
The scenery and lighting change so fast that a quick method works best on
location. I aim for balance between true to life rendering of the landscape
and an expressionist sketch. I try to relay the essentials along with
portraying specific details and even distractions that make the painting a
recognizable snapshot of the place at a certain time. |
