Landscape Notes

 

Painting is an engagement with memories and places. A recognition of some familiar face that the land shares, displays, presents.  

 

The meeting of the land and sea – a continuous event – a gentle stroke, a violent theft.

 

When the sea breaches the land, and the land holds the sea, a complex dance occurs.​

​

​A peninsula has the potential to become an island. Perhaps the obverse is also true. Sometimes a strait, sometimes an isthmus.​​They constitute the flux of a relationship beyond measure.

 

Two headlands almost meet. The gap is a pivot or hinge.

 

A trough, a ridge. Convergence/divergence.

​

The weather is another problem.
