Representational Landscape Artist


I love landscape. I love to paint trees, water and mountains and skies. When I tried to start my own photography business I advertised as a natural light photographer.  I would take pictures outside with nature as the background for any group family pictures.  Nature is just so soothing and refreshing and peaceful.  I started to think about what type of artist I am and researched the different types of landscape types.  

The three types are impressionistic, abstract and representational.  Representational captures the natural beauty.  Its more realistic that attempts to capture the essence of nature, sometimes it could look photorealistic but not always. 

I like to portray the outdoors.  It could be rolling hills, meadows, fields, mountains, lakes, rivers, seaside and beyond.  I discovered that there are a few names that I've known and you may have heard about that are listed as 10 of the top famous landscape artists.  I've only listed the ones that I recognized.

Leonardo de Vinci-landscape drawings 

Jan Van Goyen-landscapes with everyday subjects of everyday life

John Constable-local sites of where he lived

Claude Monet-plein air landscapes and an example of impressionism

Vincent Van Gogh-French country sides and starry night skies

Georgia O'Keefe-New Mexico Landscapes and large flowers and tall buildings in New York

It was interesting to research and discover what type I consider my work to be.  I hope you enjoy my style of capturing the natural beauty that surrounds us.

It started back in December, my hands started to give me issues.  I freaked out because you need your hands to do everything!  I also enjoying writing and painting so if I were to get to where I couldn't do those things anymore I would be lost.  Seriously lost! They both have a great deal to keeping me balanced and peaceful in my life.   My right hand started to hurt the worst in my thumb and wrist while all my fingers would ache.  My left wasn't as bad but soon it became the same as the right one. I have arthritis in my finger tips and in both wrist, worse in my right one. Also suffering from De Quervain's Tenosynotitis-a paint condition affecting the tendons on my thumb and side of wrist.  It will take a long time to heal the tendon until then I have to take it easy and go in for shots of cortisone to help. I have had two rounds of shots in my wrists, they hurt so bad also left bruising from the inside out. Then there is the snow! Winter winter.....w...

The Art of Blending

The Art of Blending There’s magic in the way colors meet,   Swirling together, bold and sweet.   With each new blend, I start to see   A world of endless possibility.   Leftover paint on a fresh canvas spread,   Ignites my creativity, clears my head.   Colors dance in a playful flow,   Where they'll lead, I never know.    From the spontaneous swirls arise   New ideas, a joyful surprise!   Some of my best have come this way,   Born from colors that love to play.    It’s freeing, fun, a creative delight,   To blend and blend from morning to night.
