‘Little Landscapes’

by Greg Jorss

Big landscapes, little paintings

Greg paints directly from nature using acrylic paints. Laden with painting paraphernalia he finds a vista that stirs him. Sitting down on the bare earth, enduring biting insects  and the discomfort of stones sticking into his backside, Greg balances his canvas on his lap and begins to paint, utterly focused on the beauty before him.
Some paintings Greg completes in a few hours of intense work, others might take multiple trips back to the same spot.
Greg’s paintings aren’t postcard images, they are personal and intimate responses to the vast landscape. They are where the outer natural world merges with Greg’s inner world.
As Greg says, “There is something of a home for me out in nature and the more fully immersed in it for me, the more I feel at home”.
