A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "Joshua Hoffman is an artist based out of Pittsburgh, PA. Best known for his abstracted plein air style pulling from a thoughtful study of light and color, he is inspired to capture and express the beauty within moments in time. Joshua's process starts with creating a plein air representation, working from real life. Later, paintings are taken to the studio where additional layers of intense values, and hue of varying temperatures are added with thick layers of oil paint. "
