Deirdre Dyson

Painting is my passion - to interpret my world through vibrant color, contrast and light. I prefer to paint the landscape En Plein Air, with a rapid, loose block-in of local color, then build up detail, emphasis and harmony. I do not embrace total realism, but am selective with detail and use color to capture that elusive "essence or mood" of time and place. If paintings are completed in the studio, I will use reference photographs, but try to retain the spontaneity of outdoor observation. I never tire of exploring the endless variety of form and color in nature ranging from the curl of a petal or leaf, the twist of a tree limb, the folds of mountains, skies, oceans and rocks and changes of season. By contrast I also enjoy the discipline of painting architectural subjects , with landscaping that blends nature with man-made objects. I was raised in England but now live in Ohio and part time in New Mexico, with other travel in US and abroad as opportunity allows. I never leave home without my paints!
