Randy’s interests were always traditional realism. He studied and practiced the techniques of his favorite artists focusing on the eighteenth century Dutch and Austrian masters, and the nineteenth century American painters, particularly the Hudson River School Group.

Using many of their glazing techniques of transparent layers of colors creates an illusion of depth as light travels through these layers instead of immediately reflecting off of an opaque surface.

The influence of the masters is evident but his work has evolved into a unique style truly his own. “I think the creative mind is one of God’s most fascinating gifts. I see it as a responsibility to explore and develop my gift, but mostly to share what I have created.”
