LANDSCAPES

Russell's landscapes allow him the freedom to experiment with the more organic forms of nature.  He is particularly inspired by French Barbizon artists who, painting directly from nature, created a poetic style infused with a painterly atmosphere and expression that remains unrivaled. Russell's works are likewise done on location (‘plein-air’) with minor adjustments in the studio.
