Introscape, Grey Day

Introscape, Grey Day. 1999. Oil on paper, 19"x27"

This was an exercise from high school with landscape painting. We had to create a landscape in oil from any photo we (the students) chose. The picture was from a National Geographic of some Scottish hillside with a low stone wall. This painting shows how influential van Gogh's post-impressionistic style was to me. Almost all my work in high school used impressionist methods. As I grew as a artist I seemed to travel through the procession of artistic styles in history to Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, etc.
