Pat de Groot captures nothing or everything in summertime staff favorite, 'Landscape Painting Now'

Pat de Groot's "spring blue" (2001) is reproduced from Landscape Painting Now, one of our summer-time staff favorites. De Groot's paintings "can seem almost abstract," Barry Schwabsky writes, "but as she has said, 'They are done from what is happening: the color, the wave action, the wind, the sky and the horizon,' and for that reason, 'I have to move with the changes until I get something that looks pretty much all right.' In some of these paintings, we could be looking at nothing, or everything—but nothing in between."
