- In this Southwestern
landscape painting, "Crimson Haze," an original oil
on panel, I was inspired to create a painting in a primarily
crimson color. I often challenge myself to paint in a near monochrome
pallete and in this case I used alizarin crimson, ivory black
as well as a white that has just enough yellow mixed into it
to be an ivory white. Here in this painting I worked strictly
from imagination in the composition to allow myself as much artistic
license as possible. In short I free myself from the constraints
of a real place and simply promote the kinds of arrangements
that benefit the maximum drama and luminosity that the laws of
paint allow. Here in this painting I offer my most valid attempt
to break some old habits by keeping it simple so I can better
step out into the things I love the most in color and atmosphere.
