Painting in Eugene

I have always liked to paint architecture and nature. At first in Eugene, I said I don't like the buildings. I like the plants but they are all manicured, trimmed, round and square. I love the color and all the activities, people everywhere. Then I began to see the shapes more abstractly and slowly began to absorb the environment. I am a slow mover but I learn from repeated exposure. I get to know my subject before I can paint it. I fall in love with places and objects. My vision changed. I look at the way other artist paint city scenes, and landscapes similar in what I now live in. All the looking and absorbing takes time but I will keep painting .
