In Winter: Artist Statement
Back in my student days I used to make a point of getting into New York fairly often to visit the museums and galleries. On one occasion I ended up at the Metropolitan, where there was a show of Claude Monet’s marvelous “Morning on the Seine” paintings. Even as a student I noticed that, while I was looking at spots and swirls of paint on a flat surface, I was experiencing something else, something visceral, of light and air and time of day. That experience played a big part in what would eventually become one of my most important goals as a landscape painter: to make my viewer feel rather than think about my subject and the light falling on it.
Since my subject is winter (I love winter) and I am a water-media painter, these paintings were all done in the studio…so the light is as much remembered as observed. But the reference and the motive for each of them was gathered on my daily walks with my dog and my point-and-shoot Canon, at the parks and preserves and farms around my home in Moscow. I often think that the more inadequate my reference is, and the more I have to fill in from remembered experience, the better my chances are of getting something meaningful. So I offer “In Winter” with grateful appreciation from my dog Bodie and me.
