"Bones are neither straight nor perfectly curved. Each is as unique as the life-force they once held. Catch the light just right and bones shimmer in pearlescent color. Painting skulls feels like a grapple with mortality and existential beauty. I hope these paintings communicate this duality. "

Artist Statment: Painting en Plein Air
"Painting en plein air makes me conscious of how fluid a landscape really is. Light and color change at a moment's notice, clouds and waves move constantly. Creating a landscape en plein air gives me the time to sit, listen, smell, observe, and respond in paint."
~Brooke Walker-Knoblich
Brooke's archive is loaded with 8 years of painting landscapes en plein air.
