Landscape painting is a way of exploring nature in a special way. To stand or sit in a landscape is an experience we cannot always express in words. The inability to say it in words has led me to painting. The process of painting allows me to understand that special moment in a new way. Painting is a way of knowing, of exploring, a new way of seeing what at first was ordinary and commonplace. To reach beyond the appearance of the physical and search for the invisible elements of nature has been my challenge. Space, light and atmosphere have a special attraction for me and they have become vehicles to get at the invisible powers present in nature. This triptych, in some way, is an altar to nature, a nature that reveals the power and creativity of God. In this imaginary landscape there are three sets of trees in each panel It is also and exploration of the mathematical idea of randomness, for the spacing between each tree is never the same. The three trees also suggest the idea of the trinity.
