The Work

Landscapes with a pulse.

Doug Caves finds complexity in the familiar: a late sky over a field, the hard edge of a clapboard house, the stillness before weather turns. Each painting begins with observation and resolves into atmosphere.

“I’m always trying to find the right mood, so that what I’m feeling lands on the canvas.”
