'What is a digital life, so full of care,
if you have no time to find new horizons, stand, stare and share.'
My painting passion is capturing the emotions evoked by light as seen from high places at sunrise and sunset.
Using digital paint ensures I can be very mobile when outdoors. It also enables me to operate in poor lighting conditions in a manner that would be impossible with traditional wet paints. More importantly using digital paint means I can spend more time looking at the landscapes I paint.
A wonderful unintended consequence is that the sights, sounds, smells and feel of the locations are absorbed into a piece of work and come flooding back every time I revisit them. I understand from patrons that my approach creates an emotional connection with the locations I paint. To me this means I have done the location justice.
The act of painting outside via a digital device is a gift available to everyone with a smartphone. Finding new horizons, standing, staring, and sharing creations via social media is a joy. Try it.
