Living and painting in the West has given me the opportunity to form a particular view of this genre of landscape painting. I rarely paint landscapes that have been affected by man’s influence, but rather choose to paint the unspoiled parts of nature.  In capturing the pure part of our Western environment, the resulting painting may be an artistic preservation of the area.

My paintings embody the principles of fractals- repetition and randomness - elements that are found in nature.  Each composition is held together by an energetic pattern that must permeate the entire surface of the painting.  The layering and spattering of paint produces a visual interplay of rhythm and pattern. My goal is to have each painting evoke a sense of wonder and awe through the colors, complexities, and composition.   read about David Foley's publications
