“Every day I make a few choices and set some small achievable goals. Each painting in this exhibit is the result. First comes the decision to gather my art supplies and set forth. Then there is the choice to inhabit the day and season as fully as I can. I begin again, often with a pencil and sketchbook, then brushstroke by brushstroke with paint, panel, and canvas. I believe in observational painting. Getting outside to look works for me. Over time I’ve come to consider painting as mindfulness: an awareness of the present moment alongside a losing of oneself into the whole, into the timeless sacredness of everything. These days I feel like I’m in the middle of some new way of being, even as I continue to struggle with the difficult changes I did not want after the death of my husband Ryan. This is apparently a new season of life. The landscape keeps asking for my participation in it, through painting. I don’t question it; I get out the door and do it. I think these new paintings reflect my determination. They feel solid and true, full of radiance and shadow, movement and color. They accurately describe my experience. I’ve been working with the landscape for over twenty years now. And for over ten years of solo shows at Landing Gallery: thank you, Bruce and Roberta.” — Sarah Faragher
