(Hwy 12. Atlas of Modern landscapes) I was inspired by the simplicity of colors in nature of the small things often unnoticed by the naked eye. I started to pay attention to the reflection of light on the landscape and the sky above each feeding different images into my brain, Northern California is a magical place in my daily travels on Hwy 12. I could not help; but to be inspired by the natural beauty of the landscapes which kept coming back to me in my dreams. I wanted to define what I see out in the natural space around me and not adhere to any conventional Idea of what landscapes should be seen like, I chose to paint in abstraction as the pictures kept coming back to me in waves of motion. My thought is to bring the viewer in with me to experience my daily journey around the country side to experience what I see daily.
