This is a moody atmospheric oil painting in the tonalist style. Tonalism is my genre of choice because it encapsulates everything I try to achieve...paintings that evoke a meditative, pensive mood, that stirs the memory and is able to "project an emotion, rather than a realistic or representational depiction of a certain place" (David Adams Cleveland).
Work that is conducive to reverie... thus the title 'Evening Reverie'

While visiting various stately homes around Toronto, or attending ballet in a turreted old Victorian, I would be suddenly captured by a dark, moody landscape and be lulled into a quiet respite by the serene, atmospheric, ethereal glow. My goal is for my paintings to evoke that same feeling.
"Painting in the tonalist style, I create atmospheric, moody landscapes which convey a feeling for the passage of time and evoke in the observer a sense of quietude and pensiveness. I hope to impart some lulling solace amidst the discordant clamour of this world."
