Artist Statement
    Prime considerations were given to “side-to-side” and “down-to-up” elements in each painting, as it was first painted outdoors. These excursions took place outside Carrollton city limits in Missouri during June and July of 2013. Thanks to Miles Conner at Lincoln Lakes, Chris Woodward at Woodward Ranch, Roger and Marilyn Schnare on their farm, and Miles Carter at Moss Creek for granting permission and access to these properties.

    Karl,

    Your work has a consistent feel over all with some variation. Consistency in color palette - in general. From what I can discern from iPhone, a bit of 'rounded' Bentonism. Simplified realism but your clouds are more abstracted.

    A favorite? Pond on Farm #1 - I am the granddaughter of a Missouri sharecropper.

    Thanks for sharing your works.

    Robin

      I saw the Benton look in the clouds. Perhaps it is THAT quality that comes from "trying to make it work on the spot." Those clouds were like drawing the front legs of a horse as it runs by you, and then drawing the back legs of the next horse that runs by you.

    Hi Karl,

    I just visited your journal. The paintings in the show in Nebraska have a vivid sense of color and atmosphere. My two favorite paintings are Sunrise Near Old 24 and Sunrise near Heins Lake. You've captured that humid early morning air very nicely. I hope the show is well received.

    All the best,
    Doug

      Hi Doug,

      Thank you for your analysis, because after all YOU HAVE been out there wrestling with the same elements.

    Hi Karl,
    Thank you for showing me your paintings. It is always interesting to see how another artist approaches a subject. Keep up the good work. Jean

    Pond on Farm #1 has my vote. Do you know about the upcoming "paint out" scheduled in Marceline next month?

    They are all nice in their own way. Water's Edge might be my favorite. There is a feeling of Fairfield Porter in many of them. And maybe a little Alex Katz.

      Bill,
      Said like a painter. Another friend of mine said some of my work looked like Fairfield Porter and Alex Katz. and a little bit like Karl Marxhausen, right?
      Thanks for liking Water's Edge.

      Very much like Karl Marxhausen. Bringing up those other painters was meant as a compliment. I hope you took it that way but totally understand if you didn't. It's hard to know what to say. That's why we paint. It's a different way to communicate than words.
