Recent landscape oil paintings from local Philadelphia artist, Carter Leidy.
“MY PAINTINGS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH REALITY
They are paintings which are all about feelings.
I think about a favorite melody and the feeling I have when hearing it which then ends up converted into painted images placed on canvas in a burst of high energy.
So my paintings have nothing to do with reality,
EXCEPT THAT…….
I love to place myself in landscapes near water where I’m often surrounded by challenging and sometimes exciting weather conditions that I find beautiful, nostalgic and irresistible and which I feel compelled to paint,
AND THEN…….
Equipped with the help of all the talented artist-friend-teachers who have inspired me…..
THERE’S NO TELLING WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN!
COME SEE FOR YOURSELF.”
