I endeavor to approach my work with, as jazz musician Stan Getz put it, ‘an unpretentiousness spontaneity and poetry of honest emotion.’ Plein air painting offers an incomparable sense of freedom, a way to put aside everything but the raw sensations of the immediate moment in nature. Thought clarifies, the senses fill and ideas begin to take shape; a kind of elation settles upon me as the creative inspiration and the elements of the natural world come together in the process of painting” Stephen C. Datz
