"I am embarking on a lifetime goal to become the first painter to ever paint at least one scene of every major U.S. and World city."...and maybe even become known as the most prolific cityscape painter ever.
Why focus on cityscapes? I love to travel, to see places I've never been to and meet people from all walks of life and all cultures. I love the electricity and uniqueness of the every city. And I really enjoy painting in an impressionist manner. Because when impressionist works are viewed up close they are seemingly carelessly created; yet from afar they are breathtaking.
I plan to continue painting urban cityscapes for life. Here, with my artist statement I think you'll refreshingly find a guy with one unique and simple lifetime vision; an affinity to capture marquee depictions of each particular city, (along with some frank anecdotes of my personal experiences at each locale).
Why is my plan unique? Of those who paint; only a fraction chose to paint scenes of cities.
And of those who do paint urban scenes; they only paint just a few locales in their lifetime. The end result is that no one has ever visited and painted every major city of the world!
Blend these together and I have embarked on a goal to become the most prolific cityscape painter of all time. Ambitious? Hell yeah! GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!
*All paintings are based on views I personally select and capture. None are created from others works, based on popular photos, postcards, etc. They are all truly original.
