Over the Hill was painted on site at Hollywood Cemetery over two summers and completed in the studio. I was at first attracted to the magnolia branch that frames the hill with an arch shape, and went from there.
Artist's Statement:
Nature has been incorporated into most of my work for over thirty years. Recently, I have re-activated my interest in both plein air painting and drawing the figure from life. While I continue to enjoy allowing a painting to remain in its raw sketch form, I will sometimes develop them further in the studio if it calls for greater detail.
