Landscape painting is an inherently regional activity. It draws from and draws attention to the land that surrounds us. I love to see the way that other artists in the area envision the same places I frequent. But I find it can be difficult to discover artists in this area.

If you would like to be added please send a note!
Then of course there are the less regional or even less contemporary inspirations. Landscape painters from all places and times whose work is a deep source of inspiration.
