Old and New Paintings

This painting is an example of a series I did of areas of Assateague National Seashore. I divided the landscape features into geometric shapes painted in earth tones with heavy impasto from using a palette knife to apply the paint.

The paintings I have been working on recently have been influenced by the work of Richard Diebenkorn and the Bay Area Figurative Movement that was founded by Diebenkorn and David Park. This genre combined the influence of abstract expressionism with figurative painting.
