Occasionally, I work from life. The landscapes are an attempt to understand a place in history. Sometimes the broad sweep of history, and sometimes the fleeting moments. I'm interested in spaces that include interior and exterior, have some ambiguity, and an emotional component. The emotional aspect of an image, which is what directs me to a scene or a photo in the first place, is probably the most important aspect of the painting. At the same time it is the most difficult part for me to describe or even understand, and the easiest to lose track of while I'm working. The work always begins with an exciting Image/idea: "This will be the best painting I've ever done!" Sometimes the image/idea/emotion gets lost as I paint and the painting dies. Sometimes a part of that early excitation remains, and the painting lives as a kind of record/pointer/sign/shorthand/evidence/reminder of that. All images and text copyright Daniel Walworth
