CONTEMPORARY MUDHEADS
THESE BACKLIT IMAGES ARE OIL STUDIES EN PLEIN AIR. THEY ARE DONE IN THE TRADITION OF CHARLES HAWTHORNE AND THE CAPE COD AMERICAN IMPRESSIONISTS. BY SETTING UP THE MODELS ON THE LAWN, OR BEACH, I CAN STUDY AND CAPTURE THE LIGHT KEY, COLOR AND CLIMATE OF THE MOMENT AND A LIKENESS OF THE INDIVIDUAL WITHOUT ATTENTION TO THE DETAILS OF THEIR FEATURES.
