“Another Look - (Mostly) Indianapolis Paintings”

I have always liked the famous Paul Klee quote about
drawing being “taking a line for a walk.” To me,
painting is being stopped in my tracks by light,
color, and shape.

I work from observation (either directly, or from
drawings and watercolors made on-site) because the
results are much richer and more interesting than
anything I could make up. There is often an interval
of several years between an initial sketch and a final
painting. On several occasions while driving around
town I have been shocked to realize that a view I have
just finished painting no longer exists because
something has been built or torn down.

Landscape has been my main subject for the past
fifteen years because it offers more visual
information than I could possibly capture. The images
I make are therefore never entirely descriptive, but
rather, I hope, evocative of what struck me the
hardest about a scene.

Many of the works in this show are views from three to
twenty-four stories above street level. Because we
live in a flat land, aerial views usually offer more
to look at, including the acute angles I am attracted
to for no reason I am conscious of.
