“Light is shallow; darkness is infinitely deep. Light is
always bounded, it has boundaries. Darkness has no boundaries, it is unbounded.
Light comes and goes; darkness always is. When there is light you cannot see
it. When light is not there you can see it. But it is always there; you cannot
cause it. Light has a cause. You burn the fire, you put on wood. When the wood
is finished the light will be gone. It is caused, hence it is an effect. But
darkness is not caused by anything, it is not an effect. It is uncaused
eternity.”

For my landscape paintings, I find
myself looking for dramatic moments in nature. Epic moments with fleeting
clouds, casting mile long shadows. Evening or early morning light that
stretches shadows, these indicating the deepness in the darkness.
The Gratus Portrait Series.This portrait series
borrows its name from the Latin word Gratus, meaning beloved, dear, pleasing or
agreeable. The style of these miniatures is inspired by a series of colonial
family portraits from the collection of the Bennington Museum. As time has gone
on, these portraits have been inspired by historical figures and pop culture
figures. I work from photographs and digital images. Please contact me if you
would like a custom portrait. laporteorama@gmail.com
