And thus the energy is caught in a moment of stillness. In my paintings and mixed media pieces I am again working to catch a moment of energy and hold it in stillness whether it is landscape or abstract. In many of the mixed media, I am capturing the moment when you, the viewer of the painting, see the person or people in the distance. They are in their own world perched on their piece of wood. Who are they? What are they thinking? Are they seeing the landscape you are seeing? And they are so far away in this vast landscape.
