Townley Fine Art

Short-lived moments when sunlight animates fine details in natural landscapes are the inspiration for my work. These moments become the focal points in my paintings. I bias their detail in hopes of eliciting the same emotional response from viewers as they have for me — a brief cognitive pause and refreshing breath — as I appreciate the truly awesome yet tenuous narrative of our natural environment. Each year, I feel more urgency to document these moments, as I see them, in tangible paint, absent the influence of digital algorithms and filters.
