Jeff Ripple
Jeff Ripple is dedicated to a poetic realism in landscape painting. For him, it is the artistic union of an accurate depiction of a scene infused by his emotional response to the light and atmosphere on that landscape, that gives his paintings depth and realistic character.
He is a self-trained artist who relies on rigorous daily practice in drawing and painting. Ripple explains, "I sketch and paint regularly in nature (en plein air). My field work usually involves applying a lot of paint quickly to attain accurate color, values, and forms while seeking specificity in my scene or subject. I then refine those ideas as time permits with a focus on atmosphere and achieving depth."
