The Georgia Art League - Sandra Landergott

Sandra Landergott

The enjoyment of creating art is the journey, not the destination. Although I don't paint in Monet's style, his way of seeing color has inspired me to go out and paint what I see with an impressionist's eye. Conveying a sense of time and place is part of my goal. Coming upon a beautiful scene to paint is a gift. More often, you have to find the subtle beauty in a subject and bring out the elements that make it special. What most often excites me to choose a subject has to do with light, color, or composition. Perhaps the way sunlight falls on a simple object, a chair with an interesting shadow cast, or shapes and patterns in a landscape when the sun is low.

ln the morning light, a subject may be uninteresting, but by afternoon, the sun has brought it to life. Being an artist has opened my eyes to see the beauty in the simplest of things. Even the mundane becomes beautiful. I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I love.
