Plein Air

I have been working outside on a series of paintings drawings and prints since 2009. Some of the works are made spontaneously, but some can take months and even years to finish. They aremade in situ and display the idiosyncrasies that appear when working in a way that is exposedto the elements. The notion of making art outside interests me, for the very reason that it seems so utterly anachronistic. The works vary in size, works such as ‘Landscape with Doughnutting Tyremarks’, (below) are very large, 10×8 foot. Some of the thumbnails of paintings below are smaller than a sheet of A4paper. Each is an attempt to render what I have seen as directly and honestly as possible.
