Creating an oil painting is like sculpting an illusion of light on a two dimensional surface. I am identifying light that has the honest feel of nature and how the light affects its form and color. I focus on the essence, personality, and nature within it. The composition begins with piecing together larger shapes and… Continue reading Peter Bucks

In my work as a urban landscape painter, I really want to show the simpleness of small town or even big city america, lit up by the sun in the day or lit up by the incandescent and flourescent lights at night. I try and find places to paint that most people would just overlook,… Continue reading Alex Devereux
