Seasonal Quietude Of Hancock County, Ohio

Still Structures Gallery paintings reflect an attentiveness to what remains after activity has passed. Farmsteads, barns, equipment, fence lines, woodlots, and pathways rest in their surroundings, neither abandoned nor occupied. Each is simply present.

These are modern American realistic paintings shaped by time and use. Edges are softened. Color muted. The emphasizes not in detail, rather that objects settle into the landscape instead of being separate from it. My intention is not to describe but to hold the persistence to the subject, allowing both to emit a sense of calming.

One is encouraged to view unhurriedly as they offer a calming pause where feeling presence is paramount to description.
