It’s interesting to observe how nature reclaims things. Many years ago when I was a professor at Greenville College in southern Illinois, one of my students did a study of sidewalks and how the natural process of weathering broke up the sidewalks and eventually nature reclaimed the earth around the broken pieces.
Weathered wood has always fascinated me and one can observe how nature changes wood over time. Bits of the wood split and crack and fall away. The surface colors are softened and blended in a wood wall and here nature creates beautiful tones that are difficult to reproduce in a painting. Viewed up close, the textures become pure abstract pattern rather than recognizable images. These kinds of contrasts are what interest me most when I'm painting.
