My art and life changed when I discovered the new

My art and life changed when I discovered the new hope impressionists a few years ago. Suddenly the colors I watched from the passenger seat of Renee’s car on drives up rt 31 were represented in 200 year old art.

There’s something about standing in the very spot that something beautiful was created. I wondered if the trees I looked at had inspired any art, if they were the same ones. And then I started looking at every tree differently. Now I try to embed a sense of location everywhere i paint, something specific to that place.

That’s what I thought about while I painted at goat hill overlook today, where I assume several painters have stood before me. Even though it became overcast as the afternoon progressed, it was a joy to drive down route 31 again.

It’s nice to take a break from plein air every once in a while and fully take my time on a painting. This one was waiting for me when I got back from work every day for a week, so i spent an hour here and there and let layers dry. Maybe not as spontaneous as a plein air painting, but a good opportunity to slow down.

8 x 10” oil on panel, available.
