Larry Grob
Larry remembers clearly when... "as a young child my painter grandfather taught me to stop, look (really look), and put brush to paper. When the light at low angles, sun beams sweeping like stage spots across distant marshes, glaciered peaks, windswept islands, and the forces of nature that envelop us…all said ‘paint me!’. When I touched my first pastel, made marks, experimented...and began feeling more in touch than ever before with our land. Since then, I have reveled in the freshness of my medium, the sight of images emerging from the paper, the textures and colors of my surfaces, and that feeling of drawing and painting all at once…the sweet spot of pastels, I like to think. With the wind on my face, hand out steadying the easel, and racing to follow the light, I know."

In 2012, I finally listened to that persistent urge to pick up a brush and attempt to express with paint what has always inspired me. The past few years have presented a multitude of challenges and discoveries; the first of which was the surprising feeling that landscape painting is what I was meant to do."

Largely self-taught, he continues to search for the means to explore the intimate and mysterious relationship between our perceptual world and the natural beauty surrounding us. JohnLaportaArt.com

She went out each day and found their new home, building an installation of changing scenes because of time, wind, rain and snow. MartyPap@gmail.com
