About this work
As an Impressionist, Sean pays close attention to the relationship of light and color, capturing its fleeting moments with the texture of oil paint and a broad, colorful palette. His work with light, hue, and atmosphere manifest through a skillful combination of colors that vibrates and excites the eye, resulting in an uncanny illusion of depth.
"'Winter Haze' depicts the Spring Creek in northern Utah, and was painted en plein air. The fog was breaking allowing a soft light to define the area and give a sort of warmth to such a cold day. This creek has had influence on me all of my life, from playing in it as a boy to being the namesake of my middle school. Anyone in a rural setting has emotional ties to the waterways that gives their community life. I hope those who view this piece feel the same sense of nostalgia that it evokes in me."
