Falls Lake and the Neuse River are integral parts of my life. So much of my artwork is inspired by these areas. I have seen Falls Lake during droughts and floods, needless to say both offer interesting scenes for an artist. Falls Lake at Six Forks Road is one of my favorite areas to fish. The painting shown was completed during the height of a drought in the Summer of 2008. Normally the water be up up past the sienna and umber colors that are just above the shoreline. Someone mentioned this painting resembled Fauvism. I suppose I can see this in some of the broad color grids. I've always considered my work to be inspired more by pointilism or naive styles. Maybe amongst these and other styles I will finally figure out what my paintings are all about. :)
