Tonalism. Poetic expression. Atmospheric effects and tonal values.
​ Capturing the spirit of a landscape to express a poetic feeling. Subdued hues. Low light. 
Illuminated whispers.
​Alexander Wyant, George Inness, J Frances Murphy and Whistler were tonalist painters who opened
the door for those of us who are drawn to paint in the Tonalist tradition.
Translating and capturing on canvas the essence of how land, water and sky speak to our souls.
