I like the small format for studies because they force
you to paint with an economy and looseness to your brush strokes. Going for
simple notes of atmosphere and light, pushing the abstract forms with
descriptive marks and brushwork. What I hope to gain is an honest response to nature.
Snow is a beautiful and challenging subject, winter has a
color all of its own, the soft grays and shadow colors are very subtle. I can understand
why some artist have dedicated so much time to them as a subject, they are a
genre all of their own.
