About DWT ARTWORK

I have been painting seriously since 2008 and started out doing whatever I thought might be worth painting.  At first it was simple scenery and then some more complex detailed landscapes which I painted in great detail so as to look like photos I had taken.  But I was not satisfied with simply painting whatever I could take a photograph of, instead I wanted to paint more interesting artworks that were from my own perspective.  I have always liked the way lines and patterns fit into the landscape and have a love of geography, especially rivers.  As a result I started to look at the shapes and lines that naturally occur around us in Canada and from that I started painting the lines I saw forming shadows on fresh snow in the woods behind my house.  I then considered the lines and patterns formed by Canadian geography and the beauty that I saw in those lines and patterns.  That resulted in my painting abstract river paintings in order to highlight the shapes and patterns formed in the Canadian and American landscapes.  I paint because I enjoy it and hope that anyone viewing my paintings will both enjoy the paintings and gain an appreciation for the shapes and patterns created all around us.
