Artist's Statement:
I joined a plein air group 4 years ago, starting in acrylics, and then moving on to oils, with new mediums. My earlier work was done on a much smaller scale. As awful as Covid Year One was, it because a very fruitful time for my painting. I started in the beginning of 2020, with a painting that pretty much expunged my fear. As I progressed through the months, I gave myself over to moments of extreme happiness, making a series of larger canvases, with scenes that showed a much bigger horizon. By December of 2020 I was at a level of calm. Before the Covid, and after. It has been very interesting to see how my energy grew.
