And I guess that's the way I look at life. It's kind of like a tapestry. Evans' tapestries are more about memories than exact locations. I like the thoughtfulness of a painting. I like to think a scene out.
People sometimes say it looks photographic, but it's more like a memory.
Every day on the drive to his studio, Evans passes a stand of trees. In that stand is a huge 50-foot tree that Evans says has been dying for the past 20 years. But then, come spring, there are leaves. A painter who has rendered somteims stark and sometimes dreamy landscapes professionally for more that a decade, he know a good subject when he sees one - and he knows that a good subject like that tree, isn't always pretty. So eventually, it comes to the canvas.
