These paintings from above were initially inspired by my wonder at the twists and curves of the Pamet River as seen on Google Earth. After the first one was complete, other favorite spots beckoned. I start out with underpainting the canvas in bright, warm colors. After laying in the land shapes from Google Earth, I start with colors, letting the underpainting shine through in the final piece. These paintings of the Cape Cod landscape from an unusual perspective really fascinate me. They are realistic in the way of a map, but quite abstract in appearance.
