AN ODE TO THE WIND
|
There are times when ones artistic expression transcend space and moves into another realm much like a composer who writes his music. Creating moods and feelings of intimacy, anger or melancholy. Some facets of my art is an expression of thought that is given substance and becomes visual. Then others are invited to view and even collect the artists creation, his thoughts and ideas, here is one such image titled .... AN ODE TO THE WIND.... " You can reach me at [email protected].

Summer Evening

Scott strives for simplicity
of composition in both his pencil drawings and his pastel landscapes.
"Several years ago, I started including an 'in-progress' pencil drawing in
my exhibits to show people what I was working on. There was more interest in it
than my 'finished' work", he recalls. "I guess I've adopted a Zen-like
philosophy when it comes to my work." Scott strives to carry that
philosophy over into his landscapes by using a limited palette along with light
and tonal value to draw the viewer in. He finds inspiration in the works of the
Hudson River School of painters; masters of atmospheric light. "Whether I'm
creating a landscape of Tuscany or the Willamette Valley, my goal is to create
an image that will cause someone to stop and remember or reflect. It's usually a
scene so simple and familiar that it could be almost anywhere."
In 1999, after two decades of working in pencil, Scott made the transition to
pastel landscapes. Inspiration came when he took a trip to South Africa.
"My original plan was to bring back photos of the African wildlife at
Kruger National Park for a series of pencil drawings", he recalls,
"but I was overwhelmed by the South African landscape and the atmospheric
lighting. I immediately started working on pastel landscapes when I returned
home. It was a career-changing experience". Scott has also traveled
throughout Europe and recently traveled to Thailand.
