Abstract Landscape

He is influenced by the work and processes of Richard Diebenkorn and Wayne Thiebaud. He has a DJI Drone that he flies to get photographs of an elevated perspective and uses these photos as references for future paintings. He loosely draws in pencil, charcoal, Conte' Crayon, etc. to get a quick, direct montage of imagery on the canvas. He then paints the background using thin washes of oil paint in primary colors and white. He layers paint and uses very thin washes and thickly applied paint with a palette knife. He loves showing the under-painting, the under-drawing and layers of paint. Any given section of canvas might have a dozen layers of paint while another section might show raw canvas.
