Landscape Paintings by Gerald C Moore - Lanning Gallery [Sedona]

"October Prelude"
Oil on Linen Painting
42" x 42"

I am after the aesthetic essence of things found outdoors, which make my paintings close to nature, but not copies of nature. My paintings are all about surface texture caused by light.

I could be called an expressive realist, but my work also involves intellect to get at feelings. I also believe in the power of the abstract. The painted surfaces of landscapes should make statements beyond obvious detail and draftsmanship. I create mystery in some of my works. I also feel I should be a clarifier and edifier in my landscapes.

The famous English landscape artist, John Constable, said he could find his subject under a hedge. Though I love the vast canyons, I can find my subjects on expressway medians and ditch beds. I often do a fragment of the landscape to represent the whole.

I use great detail on the surfaces because major characteristics of the landscape are its intricacy, abundance, and chaos, which are often overlooked in the name of simplicity. Nature’s beauty most often is not simple, except when seen as a whole.

I work opposite the Oriental painting

philosophy that “less is more.”

“More” is the engine of my work.

“More” is more.

My work is often empowered by great symphonic music, which I listen to while painting.
