"Scott L. Christensen opens our eyes to a universal beauty that is already known to our soul, but too often unrecognized. He paints the kind of landscapes we would all like to dwell inside of: big atmospheric places filled with billows of cloud and rock-ribbed mountains. In his brushstrokes, color seems to hum and vibrate; light emerges and then fades away in retreat. His paintings strike a chord among viewers who know in their soul that what he paints is true.

Plein air painters, more keenly than any other kind, are studied in noticiing how the spirit of a place changes, not in its contents, but in how it is illuminated. Scott urges us to "enjoy the work, but more importantly, get yourself out into the world which inspired it...every day if you can."" -excerpted from jacket cover
