Winter Studio w/ Belmont Hills (2018)
Where were you when you painted the original?
I painted the painting in my studio from direct observation.
What inspired it?
The painting was inspired by a small pencil sketch that I made trying to capture the expansive sense of space in my studio
Why is it artistically successful? What do you like about it?
If the painting is artistically successful I would say is because it creates a vibrant and expansive feeling about the world as it is without manipulation.
Its importance to you?
It’s important to me because I think it’s among my most successful attempts to achieve what I’m after in painting. It also serves as a document and a dramatization of my world.
