- Summary
- "Landscape has become an urgent subject. In response, the author is developing three plein air painting projects, Latitude, Longitude, and Antipodes, each of which combines life study and abstraction to recount the colour, light, and motif of many places. In the most general terms this tri-part painting project is an attempt to describe the uniqueness of the local while maintaining a global perspective. Although the improvisational painting process remains constant within these three projects, the location for each series shifts. For Latitude, he remained in one place for an extended period to paint the changes of season as the earth shifted on its axis. For Longitude, he travelled along the 70th line of longitude to four locations between the Arctic Circle and the Equator to paint the changes of region. For Antipodes, he travelled to locations that are on opposite points of the globe to paint a comparison."--BOOK JACKET.
