The Wheels Start to Turn

I am working on landscapes right now. They are a combination of personal experience and my imagination. I may use what I see as a starting point (i.e. valleys, trees, structures, waterways) for my composition, but then the "wheels" start to turn and imagination takes over. I like to take what I see and change it by rearranging the landscape or changing the shape and color of things to put my own stamp on it.  My ideas may start from a sketch or from doing a plein aire paint out with friends. From this point I usually go back to my studio put my music on and start "changing things". I have fun.   Gregg Skuce
