Former Firnew Artist Richard Wyvill
My landscapes are chronicles recording what I see in the Virginia countryside. I attempt to instill some mystery into the painting so as to portray the feelings that I have. While these paintings are only silent witnesses, our memories and imaginations can move into these canvas landscapes and recreate the half-remembered places. And when the muse is working, the sense of place flows with the paint, and these scenes become so real that although we may not know where they are, we know we have been there.
