Not For Sale
As a Tonalist my work is heavily influenced by the Barbizon school movement toward naturalism in art and a search for solace in nature. These painters pursued the belief that a landscape could be the sole subject of a painting rather than merely a backdrop for a narrative.
I completely agree and Moonglade is just one more result of this outlook.

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."
