Rich Brimer

About painting, Brimer says, “I have always loved the ocean and I love creating images along this threshold between the seen and unseen world. It can be a spiritual metaphor. It is where I meditate in solitude. I go to the California shoreline as often as possible. Painting allows me to have a time alone in the power of nature and to gaze at its beauty. I love to paint quickly outdoors in order to make the impression of what I am experiencing, immediately finding its way to the canvas. Also, studio work allows a longer periods to ponder new ideas and work out some bigger themes.”
