"It is always a visual response to a subject. The interesting composition and the way the light creates the desire to capture that particular scene. The difficulty is simplifying the subject because there is an overwhelming amount of information and our eyes see it all.
The challenge then is to capture the essence and state it in such a way that the viewer responds favorably to the image. The best way to paint a landscape is to be there on location- plein aire painting. Often the weather does not cooperate so the camera comes into play, but having been there, feeling the mood, remembering the moment helps when painting in the studio."
