Style 1900
I've been interested in 1900 style artwork since college and I realized what single factor was going to predominate. Tonalism. Color mixing that keeps the palette very subdued in a certain color direction. So in 2004, my oil paintings took on that effect, as though we're looking through amber glasses at a landscape.
My current aim to integrate into Arts and Crafts revival homes. Fine paintings in crafted frames.
Landscapes that evoke emotion and avoid bluntly naturalistic color. Some people think my work looks photographic. Yes, I use my camera. I change things, I combine things, I take the color in a whole new direction. I would like the viewer to realize that I achieve a stunning glowing effect to my canvases today, far beyond the capabilities of "a photograph."
I invite you to proceed to In the Studio and find out some particular techniques I use to achieve that effect.
