Well, I am well into preparations for an upcoming show at the Kada Gallery in Erie, Pennsylvania. The show opens October 16. I have decided to call the show Toward Possibility which is the name of the painting above. It is a 24″ by 48″ painting on canvas and has been a favorite of mine for some time.
The title of the show refers to the possibility offered in the paintings, the pure chance of existence and imagination. These landscapes that I paint are not pure products of this world. I can stop and step back to analyze them with a cool eye and say this or that element in the painting doesn’t or couldn’t exist in the real world. But my goal and hope is to make them possible in the eyes and minds of the viewers, to create a harmony in the elements that allows the viewer to comfortably assume the reality of the landscape. To create a vocabulary of elements that speak of the possibility of this other world. That is the possibility to which I refer in the title.
Hopefully, I am moving more and more toward that possibility.
