Piece description from the artist
A couple of years ago I felt the impulse to challenge myself by painting again and began doing small landscapes and still lifes. I soon discovered the daily painting movement where artists produce a small painting each day and post it on their website. While I never attempted to create seven paintings a week I did benefit from the discipline of painting on a frequent basis. By working small, I was able to take risks that I never would have taken with larger pieces. Likewise, it was easy to abandon a painting that just wasn’t working and move forward with a new one. My overarching goal has been to become a better craftsman without diminishing the poetry.
Landscape With Trees
This is one of the first pieces I did when I returned to painting after a long absence. I was interested in using bold strokes, flattened planes, and texture to build an iconic image, imbued with power and light. My work has since become more complex but I still like the simplicity and strength of this piece.
Over 30 years ago Steven P. Goodman started his art career as a painter but in 1990 he put away his brushes and began concentrating solely on digital imagery. Using the computer as a tool, Steven attempted to express his political, spiritual, and humanistic concerns. Inspiration ranged from a particular moment in his life to an event taking place on the world stage. He tried, however, to keep the work open-ended enough to allow personal interpretation on the part of the viewer. Steve saw his role as a visual artist as that of a poet but instead of using words he composed with images, combining them in unique ways to create a personal statement.
