While walking to the studio yesterday
the sun came out suddenly.
I was floored by how colorful the early spring landscape
is when washed in that burst of light.
"Burst of Light"

I was inspired by reading this interview in
with
Her landscape paintings take my breath away!
"Adam's tractor tracks"
“Seeing—and the painting that
comes from seeing—
can only be one way at a particular moment.
Some paintings
are done in a day; some have pieces of many days.
To get what you see, you
cannot paint what you see.
It’s a battle between what you see and what you
know.
You take what you need to make a painting.
The landscape has
everything and nothing to do with the painting.”
