My Art History<\/h3>\n

I began painting in my originally preferred medium – watercolor – in 1967 during my\u00a0second year at Dartmouth College. To my surprise a local Hanover, NH gallery almost immediately approached me offering to display my\u00a0paintings, and within a year, to both their delight and mine, I had developed a pretty extensive list of collectors. Besides welcoming the unanticipated income, I fell\u00a0completely in love with the process of sketching the structures and landscapes of New Hampshire and Vermont and then translating the sketches into finished paintings.<\/p>\n

As a bonus, my observations of nature and subsequent painting seemed\u00a0a perfect compliment to my\u00a0chosen major in Biology specializing in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology.\u00a0I began to look at almost every landscape or view of the landscape\u00a0as a possible subject for a painting, unconsciously rearranging and filtering elements of the scene and how light hits them to compose the design to impart the most visual impact.<\/p>\n

My ultimate motivation for painting has\u00a0always been my intense\u00a0desire to share the beauty and unity of the natural world. I want people to feel the same joy and excitement that I do when a beautiful scene suddenly pops into view. I love exploring how the sun spotlights\u00a0a rocky headland\u00a0with an orange glow\u00a0in the late afternoon as the fog rolls in, or how noon-time backlight creates blue-purple\u00a0shadows under the sedimentary rock ledges of a Southwestern mesa.<\/p>\n
