About Richard Fox

What most inspires me is color. Vivid color harmonies affirm life both witnessed and experienced. It gives me great joy to share that passionate sense I feel whenever I encounter contrasts of color and picturesque details in my wanderings.
I work from memory and sketches, and also in front of the motif whenever possible. Recently a woman who watched me work asked if the colors I used were those I was actually seeing; I replied no, but I feel them this way, and that’s how I wanted you to see it as well.
Intensity for me is all—allied with that embracing of lively color is a diversity of subject matter. Observing and recording my impressions of parks, theatre, music—these are my themes and what drives me on.
