The process of painting in the open air is total engagement with the world at a particular moment in time. It is what the day offers to the artist flowing together with what the artist brings to the day. Whether it's the heady rush of ambient activity — waves, wind, cars, seals, gulls, people — or the serene quiet of streets on late night walks, the feeling of the moment, the particular place in time and space where art occurs, comes through in the work.
