D. Wieth (b. 1967) - I would like everyone who looks at my paintings to
know for a moment the simple beauty of the simple things in life. I think
that all too often people get caught up in details and fail to appreciate
the enjoyment of simplicity. I do not attempt to paint photographically
(although that is sometimes the result). I paint with an impressionistic
style that I believe lends itself to adding mystery and expression. I think
that art is true self-expression, each brush stroke or lack of brush stroke
conveys emotion and self-expression. I put a lot of faith in the viewer
that they will be able to piece together the mystery, without spelling out
every detail. This interaction will help the viewer enjoy the moment of
time that I am creating. I would love it if people could see the simplicity
of still lifes in their everyday environment or the deeper beauty of their
pets, or the strangers on our streets. All of these subjects in their moments
of simple beauty, I feel, must be rendered.
