The Cove
I have always been drawn to and connected to water, salt water, moving tidal water. I have lived within sight of water most of my life. It nourishes my soul… I prefer a quiet cove, reflections, an intimate peaceful place. How I feel about this place has to do with my own quiet personality. I observe the cove in all kinds of atmospheric conditions, in all seasons. I will always be excited every time I go to the same place because it will look different . You will see the same island in many of my paintings. I love it's shape and it's relationship to it's surroundings, of water, mud flats, the granite shore, and the fir trees.

The traditional landscapes I paint are scenes from around the area where I live. I paint on location, from sketches and from memory. There are three things that excite me about a scene, the color, the shapes and light. A painting represents the subject according to my interpretation. Emotional excitement creates the spark. The painting develops from the intuition and knowledge of composition, the results being a balanced, harmonious picture. It is the act of painting, creating, that finalizes a painting, that gives me satisfaction, and hopefully communicates with all who see it.
" Somewhere within all of us there is a wordless center, a part of us that hopes to be immortal in some way, a part that has remained unchanged since we were children, the source of our strength and compassion. This faint confluence of the tangible and the spiritual is where ART comes from." Richard Schmid
