2023 Laguna Beach Plein Air Invitational Artist
Carl Bretzke
Minneapolis, Minnesota
“It is often said that art is a ‘right brain’ endeavor and yet I’ve always considered myself to be quite grounded in left brain thinking even as I paint. The physics of light and color fascinates me and ‘understanding it’ helps me to ‘see it’ which then allows me to ‘paint it’.  I try to paint scenes that are a bit unexpected and still convey a pleasing sense of familiarity.”
