"Impressions of Nature"
"Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty"
- John Ruskin - (1819-1900)
With ever-changing nature, it is
exciting that everyday can bring another way, a new way of expressing and
interpreting not only what I see with my eyes, but also what I see and feel with
my heart and soul about the landscape.
Through my paintings I wish to share the serenity and tranquility of what I have
discovered in nature; to instill in the viewer a sense of peace and wonderment
and to open all their senses to nature's beauty.
Perhaps, my paintings will help serve as a reminder of the importance of
appreciating, preserving and taking care of our American landscape and seascape,
wildlife and all of nature for the sake of all life on this earth.
PAINTAMERICA
shows us all through their selected paintings the beauty of nature
and what we would be missing. It is an honor to be a part of their show.
