Artist Statement
The degree of good that one gets from the ever present landscape depends on two things. First the keenness of one’s perception of the beautiful qualities in landscape. Second the physical qualities of the landscape itself qualities which depend largely upon the doings of man as woodsman farmer gardener builder or controller of the materials and forces of nature. For the appearance of the land and the objects upon it generally results from the control which man himself exerts over the materials and forces of nature just as truly and as completely as the sculptor controls the appearance of the natural stone which he shapes. There is not one of us who is not responsible in some degree for making or marring the landscape of our world. Whenever this human control over the land and the objects upon it is influenced by desire to make the resulting landscape more enjoyable than it would otherwise be an element of artistry enters which often attains the quality of a Fine Art.
