About Michael Schweigart...
The American landscape painters of
the 1800’s (Hudson River School) have had the greatest impact on the direction
of my work. I enjoy painting from a variety of points of view; sometimes from a
bird’s eye view, which encompasses the immensity of the land. While at other
times, I focus on the more intimate aspects of the visual world with a close up
of an architectural element combined with just a glimpse of the distant
landscape. Distance and intimacy are at times entwined to create an exciting
dichotomy. I’m working at understanding the visual world and thereby rendering
with as much precision as I am capable of at the time of inspiration. |
