I am currently producing a body a work a family member has agreed to promote on my behalf. My painting is influenced by most everything I see but am I most compelled by the elements of nature, which provide an awe-inspiring array of color and shape and line...and since I work for a cruise line most of my nature-themed pieces have something to do with the sea. Inspired by the idyllic beach scenes of John Miller, I tried to evoke the sense of peaceful abandon I felt as I lay on the beach through the use of line and color, with as little detail rendering as possible. I was pretty pleased with the result - sometimes putting the brush down and declaring a piece "finished" can be more exacting than the act of painting itself.
