Some words from the author:
I’m interested in the pattern of leaves, which are mostly light against a darker background. I paint around the leaf shapes, then color the leaves with a variety of light yellow greens and pale blue greens. The cast shadow appears bluer at its edges, and darker in the occlusion shadow near the base of the pot. I’m intrigued by the way the cast shadows stretch diagonally across the front plane of the square concrete base.

The GOAT of plein air himself. This guy hasn’t stopped inspiring me for 30+ years
Recently I learnt that he was one of the 2 background painters (along with Tom Kinkade) of Ralph Bakshi’s “Fire and Ice”, from 1983!

I’ve never seen this movie, it’s added to the list!
I’ve only recently found this artist, and I’m blown away by him. He has a great YouTube channel.
