Observations
Across the sheet, expansive landscapes and old urban scenes are rendered with visible, energetic paint strokes, layered atmospheric distance, and richly articulated rock and masonry. The palette is restrained and often dusky, but punctuated by strong sunlight, glowing skies, and deep contrasting shadows.
