Description
Many of my paintings are created purely for a feeling but unlike abstracts or expressionism, I prefer to create these feelings mostly through realism as I believe that more people can relate to and enjoy these images. This Tuscany landscape of Italy doesn't actually exist, rather it reminds me of the golden fields, surrounded by blue and purple hills with grape vines growing in the valleys that is much of central Italy. The constant challenge is to paint realism in a way that makes it not just photographic but adds character and feeling beyond what is visually obvious. Just painting pretty picture has some merit but purposely creating a feeling and ambiance from nothing more than one's imagination is what art is all about for me.
