Going to Ground
"When I started to  paint my Going to Ground Series, I tried to release the subject from the canvas by listening to what it wanted.  I carefully acknowledged the subject and respectfully approached the topic by only painting what I knew or have experienced first hand.
My goal was not to just recreate what I had researched and studied but to listen to what the topic I had chosen wanted to become.
In the winter, I painted the colds, blues , and browns of my northern climate. In the summer, I painted outdoors and revelled in the seasonal changes as the days grew longer.
Starting with intense research for the indoor paintings in the colder months, I thought three dimensional tactile thoughts and aimed to achieve the magic that would take a two dimensional canvas field and allow something to come to life (complete with its unromanticized spirit). I wanted  to smell the animal, see the flies and ticks, follow the extreme evolutionary skills that allowed these species to exist even now that the balance had been tipped in humans’ favour."                                       ~ Lesley Schatz
