“I do not choose the subjects that I paint they choose me. I just happen upon them in my endless wandering for inspiration and they appear when I least expect them. After many years of showing my students how to paint landscapes I thought it time to explore this genre as serious subject matter for my own work. Although I have painted landscapes in oils of city scenes and stop lights in an urban setting, they were always a close-cropped view of a scene. So for the first time in many years I have been re-born as an artist and am finding endless joy in creating paintings that seem to make perfect sense.” Philip J. Carroll
