Doug Hoppes Studio, Williston, VT
As a Vermont artist, I am fortunate to be able to constantly surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of trees, mountains and lakes. However, having the love of modern clean lines, I am able to express my attraction for nature with the sharp edges of modern society. My paintings are known for their strong colors and vibrancy. When painting any landscape, I try to introduce these strong colors so that a person can look at my paintings and say... That must have been a lot of fun to paint. In the end, I want the viewer to constantly look at my paintings and see the playfulness inherit within the painting.
