"My work explores the connection between the artist and the model, the energy exchanged between the two. It's about emotional response, tactile, visceral, abstract, created with a limited color palette, leaving the brush strokes and drips raw and unrefined. It's as much a conversation as a picture, a snapshot of emotion, a thread running between the observer and the observed. Connective Tissue."

Lighthouse on the Oregon Coast

11.30.09 Posted in Blog, News by Daniel Liam Gill

LighthouseI painted this on a sunny day in July on the Ore­gon coast. Odd thing about the beach, it’s colder that I thought it would be. I grew up in the south where the beach is hot and the water is warm.That’s not the vase in the Pacific North­west, though I did get a nice sun­burn to keep me toasty.

My friend Quin Sweet­man intro­duced my to Erik Sandgren’s paint­ing group, thanks Quin for a great experience.

    I still love this paint­ing of yours! Very Hop­peresque! The beach was much warmer when you were there with us. :)
