Patchwork Fields

This painting is a mashup of two of my favorite landscape artists – Paul Cezanne and Richard Diebenkorn. Can you spot the influence?

Lately, I’ve been trying to expand the language of my brush. I want to push my style into new directions. Looser strokes, simplified shapes, and sketchy parts that become part of the finished work. I also want my colors to be more magical and bolder … less literal and real.

To help me on this path, I’ve been using various AI tools to help create new compositions that tap into some of the painters I admire. This painting was painted with paint by my hand, but clearly is indebted to the styles of the artists mentioned above.
