Though small in scale, Greg Skol’s intensely detailed landscapes are packed with visual information. Skol begins by looking at a specific place and then returns to his studio to paint from memory where he often adds elements not present at the original site; a waterfall, a slant of sunlight or an unexpected stream might all be added to the composition. With a slight edge of fantasy, his pieces suggest a perfection of nature that while perhaps unattainable, connects the viewer with the natural world. The depth he is able to achieve in the small dimensions that he works coupled with the incredible detail of his scenes are all highly skilled. This exquisite attention to detail, along side a strong sense of composition and color, create works that although feel familiar are really of another world. “It is not transcription of place that my work is concerned with, it is evocation of place. It is in this way that the landscape becomes a visual representation of our internal world.” -Greg Skol he photographic copying of nature.                CLICK ON ARROW TO VIEW IMAGES
