Carl R. Blair

In life, it is prudent to think first and act afterward. In art, I act first and think afterwards, gaining spontaneity and freshness, along with unexpected accidents that happen that I can take advantage of in composition and color. No part is “sacred” and I feel free to paint out or change my direction at any time. “The whole is more important than the parts.” It is my practice to stop working just before I think I am finished, lest I should overwork the canvas. Slowly my work has evolved from the dark foreboding landscapes of the early days of my youth into the bright, exuberant, powerful, optimistic images of my “young” golden years.
