browns….. This must seem deeply uninteresting to the casual observer, but to some painters it is an intriguing proposition. For me it is the motivation behind this painting. There is more than brown and I would prefer it if there wasn’t, I will consciously seek out some monochrome landscapes to photograph. I want to be painting across the seasons, and there is beauty in an English landscape in winter, although my mexican wife would disagree. Just recently I have started to think that these paintings need to be bigger. Not as a lazy way to create impact, but because I always go for the expansive view. As these paintings improve I will look to increase their size.
