I have discovered, looking back, that I have been extremely emotional and passionate all my life. I have experienced nature a lot and found many good emotions, feelings, or spirits in nature which suggested who we are ("we" meaning the mountains, trees, water, rocks and I relating together). I have found emotions such as exploration, peace ( as in a quiet pool), faith, courage, renewal, healing, passion ( as in a waterfall), power, or a feeling of oneness ( as in a rock). As a boy, I played, swam, floated and fished in a river and lived with it. Now my painting, "Cast in Right Here" has a slimy rock in it that has the color and texture that gives the impression of that closeness with the river I had. Each of these paintings are not what I saw, but they are the poetry of what we are, and what we feel as we experience these places.
This fine art is expressive realism.
These paintings not only have the feelings of the natural spirit of each place but they have my emotions of passion, sensitivity and excitement. My paintings go beyond renderings or documentation. I document all the feelings and spirit of one special place as I experience it, then paint, over a period of months or years, all the poetry and impressions that were there too. The way I feel looking around the painting is the same as all of the emotions I had looking at all the actual elements of the place. I firmly believe that the supreme artist is the Creator Himself and that the best painting would represent the whole gift that He intended with that view. Photos don't capture all the impressions as they were in reality in relation to the entire place. When my paintings are 30 to 44 inches wide they create a sense of really being there.
Traditional painting limitations:
Traditional painting doesn't capture the variety of impressions that make the complete poem I lived as I experienced the place. I have discovered a way to paint with real brushes and canvas in the the virtual reality environment of the computer that gives me complete control over all elements of the painting, such as color, balance, line, value, texture, form , and space: and over all principles of the painting such as harmony, unity, movement, repetition, proportion, rhythm, contrast, emphasis, design, and composition.
The best of four professional disciplines are all mixed into one new fine art painting medium:
1. Photography
2. Digital fine art in the computer
3. Traditional original painting with oil, watercolor, or acrylic, etc.
4. Original printing techniques ( such as etchings, stone lithography, and now Giclée).
