Ripple’s work is dedicated to a poetic realism in landscape painting inspired by intriguing compositions and fleeting moments of emotive light in nature. His style involves carefully planned drawings, a reliance on sketches and studies painted in nature to inspire studio work and a focus on luminous atmosphere.
His studio work evolves from graphite composition sketches, field studies (paintings and drawings), photographs and video shot on location. Studio paintings are generally contemplative with carefully rendered underpaintings and layers of glazing to achieve the luminous atmosphere he seeks. Many studio paintings are from imagination, drawing from experiences, contemplation and a sense of wonder in the landscape.
Ripple has received awards from many prestigious Florida art shows including the Mainsail Art Festival in St. Petersburg, the Downtown Gainesville Festival and Art Show, the Ocala Art Festival, the Winter Park Autumn Sidewalk Festival as well as "Best Landscape," National Oil & Acrylic Painters' Society Spring 2022 Online International Exhibit and Grand Prize Winner, International Artist Magazine Challenge #124, Landscapes.
The 2026 WUFT Anniversary poster, “Quiet Reflection, Otter Creek,” is our thank you gift to you with your sustaining donation of $12/month (or more) or a one-time gift of $144 or more.
