There is a solitude that comes in a landscape. With some landscapes, it’s vastness is a point of departure, place to loose oneself. Other landscapes can be like a blanket, there is a comforting and reassuring intimacy within its beauty. Sometimes both of these happen simultaneously.

Being a representational artist is more than being able to rendering space and form. For me, it’s about developing the abstract patterns within the image as well. Realism tells us of time and place but abstraction embodies its personality.
