Alexia Scott – “In the woods, we return to reason and faith.” Emerson – Nature -1836
Nature heals and the contemplation of nature makes us better. I choose my subjects by emotion. I paint to capture that emotion; the single moment that lifts my thoughts and inspires me to paint.
My purpose in landscape and nature painting is to share this visual moment. I begin with a place, I often do a “plein air” pastel, but I continually refine the impression of the landscape by color and form to enhance the visual language and create a sense of calm and wellbeing. This is my gift to the viewer.
