To me, the integrity of a painting depends upon direct experience. Plein air painting is a means of charting an inner landscape by transposing both the subtle and dramatic outer shifts of weather on the terrain.

As a landscape painter, I work outdoors because I like the direct experience of seeing and feeling the shifts in light and weather. For my small figure studies, I also prefer to work from life in a direct response approach. Painting on small panels gives me the possibility, or the ideal, of completing a painting in one sitting. As a frame maker, I love small period frames that work so well to present my paintings.

"To me, the integrity of a painting depends upon direct experience."
