In this series of paintings, Spirit of Place, I explore the idea of land, memory, and connection through expressive, abstracted landscapes. Content or mood is conveyed through quick and deliberate brushstrokes, expressive lines, bold colors, and implied light.
Variations of light are used to reinforce mood, symbolizing a spiritual connection to place, referring to its distinctive or cherished aspects, or can reference the intangible energy and/or Spirit of a place (or soul). The landscape imagery, referencing spirit, memory, and passage of time is meant to be both haunting and celebratory.
Spirit of Place: Lowcountry Inlet (Evening)
Medium: Oil
$1,000.00
This piece’s medium is oil paint on archival panel. I typically begin the painting process by drawing with oil bars or pigment sticks, applying and wiping away pigment until I find the composition. The sturdiness of the panel along with the surface, plays a significant roll in this process. Often works have many layers of paint formed by the emphasis on process and by the evolution of composition.
