I like the way this painting plays with your notion of what a landscape should look like. By simplifying all the elements to shapes and focusing on the shapes themselves it has created what I would call a poetic and surrealist set of symbols that have some sort of relationship to each other. I have not invented this from nothing, in fact nearly all these shapes exist in the landscape I am looking at and that is the interesting thing. I have developed shapes that have also appeared in the process of painting, shapes that seem to enhance what already exists. This painting is nearly finished.
