Piece description from the artist
A break in the fog and rain along the Maine Coast often yields a treasure. The combination of color saturation in the foreground, against a cloudy forest in the distance, renders both contrast and depth. The palette in this springtime piece is pushed beyond the underlying dull limit, to celebrate emergent color and life to be witnessed with sun shining in the months to come. I hope the painting conveys a sense of hopeful transition.
Whether en plein air or in the studio, Roy’s paintings are interpretive of composition, color and tone in the style of an impressionist. These elements are accentuated by a distinctive mark, made with knives and various thicknesses of mixed, uncut paint. The works in his portfolio speak to personal experiences. All are painted through observation, from sketches and photos and, in no small part, Roy’s memory. His simple intention has been to recreate an original moment, pulling the viewer in to what excites the senses most about time in the wild.
