“This painting was done on location and in the studio. The design of the land captured me. I painted the natural color and light on location. After looking at the painting in the studio for some time, I felt the painting needed bolder color contrast . Landscape artists need to work on location AND in the studio. I could hear Don O’Neill and Ann Templeton say ‘push the contrast’ and Marian Stevens say ‘warm over cool, cool over warm.”

My mentors’ voices stay with me.
