What underlies a landscape, less subject to control, is a discovery; coming upon a vista, the painter registers a moment—a quirk of light, a condition of weather, wherein he or she experiences an epiphany. Rendering the shifting conditions as they correspond with the artist’s own changing perceptions is the task. Accordingly, landscape painters look both outside and within. From the Hudson River School and the Luminists to Henry Farney and Thomas Hart Benton; from Maurice Prendergast and Childe Hassam to John Twachtman and April Gornick, American landscape painters focus on a luminosity that intimates the spirit of a once new and ever-evolving land. In a trajectory that would have been familiar to Emerson, the mind that knows itself encounters nature and, in an intuitive leap, moves beyond the self to the cosmos. Such is transcendence. We see what’s visible and perceive what’s not. The artists whose work comprises Art Journey America: Landscapes assert the viability and vitality of this rich tradition. SCOTT LLOYD ANDERSON When he’s not painting, Scott Lloyd Anderson is busy driving his two teenage daughters around and trying to get his golf swing in shape. He also enjoys camping and canoeing in Minnesota’s North Woods. Anderson is nationally recognized in the field of plein air landscapes. In 2008, he received local attention for his series of paintings created on the site of the new I-35W bridge construction. In spring 2010 he won best of show in the prestigious Salon International exhibition in San Antonio, Texas. Anderson has also earned top prizes at plein air events in Telluride, Colorado, San Luis Obispo, California, and Grand Marais, Minnesota, and his work has been displayed at the Minnesota governor’s residence. Anderson says, “For anyone looking to try plein air painting, I advise them to have the right equipment and dress appropriately. Be prepared. And be patient. It takes about a hundred starts of paintings to get a feel for what you’re doing.” What inspired this painting?
