Spring Rain - Michael S. Ryan

30 x 40

Framed Original Oil Painting

     I am a painter.  As a painter, there some things that I wish to include in my work.  The work is largely expressionist in form and deals with and celebrates the landscape.  I am influenced and include elements of the methods and ideas found in such diverse groups as the West Coast Plein Air movement, the 1960s bay area figurative painters, Wolf Kahn's colorist theories, as well as, the work of Ken Elliott and Roger Bechtold
