Landscape painting has meditative benefits

Collectors describe my landscape paintings as peaceful, serene and comforting. I appreciate their insights and in a lot of ways they have identified why I love landscapes so much. When I paint a scene, all the jangled noise and the frenetic business of life just fall away.
With my abstract paintings, I am immersed in the moment of expressing a mood, feeling, or just plain excited over the act of painting.
Painting is a form of meditation for me.  That’s one reason I am a solitary painter. No audience. Not even a husband in the next room. Sleeping dogs are okay.

I think it is important to share my motivation, inspiration and direction..

Collectors describe my paintings as peaceful, serene and comforting. I appreciate their insights and in a lot of ways they have identified why I love landscapes so much. When I paint, I place myself into the scene. I can feel the breeze, smell freshly mowed hay and hear birds, etc. All the jangled noise and frenetic business of life just fall away.
