Waiting Out The Season - Roderick O'Flherty

12" X 16" Oil on Panel

“I am a realist painter, but I do not strictly copy what I see.  I make an effort to convey a unique mood in each of my paintings.  Capturing this mood can involve any number of changes in the lighting, color, or subject matter itself.  Two of my favorite painters are Vermeer and Hopper, both of whom played with light and reality.  I will continue to focus my energy on the creative interpretation of what I see.”
