“Every time I paint in plein air I am amazed at how everything seems to move—the sun, shadows, clouds, colors, my body—it’s all subject to change. To paint from and in the world is to cope with it. To refashion a landscape to one’s own tastes is entirely different, it’s almost like shifting the goal posts.”
