About this artwork
This painting is egg tempera on panel. I mix my own paint with fresh egg yolk, powdered pigment, and water. The paint is very thin and transparent so you can see the many layers of application.
My landscapes are paintings and prints meant to give a degree of ambiguity that allows them to provoke a sense of familiarity and calm without presenting a specific location. Sea, land, and sky. These most basic elements of the natural world captivate me.… A band of light dances across the surface of the water. A shadow defines the edge of a mountainside. A shift of color marks the sky below and above the clouds. These relationships of light, line, and color are my experience of a landscape, and they return when I sit in my studio to paint. These paintings come from simple ingredients: memory and imagination, sea, land, and sky.
