 “Mood
and feeling are more important with Whitcomb than visual reference, though all
of his landscapes he paints are compelling places,” says one museum curator.
“The detail of the physical world is subdued in response to the spiritual
one.” Whitcomb says, “Once you internalize the language of painting you see the
world differently. It never leaves you. The veil of rational order is lifted
and what hangs in the air are sensations of painted possibilities. On good
days, some would call it poetry.”
An accomplished outdoor painter, Whitcomb has received
numerous awards for his landscape paintings in oil and pastel, his work resides
in major public and private collections. He has had several one-man shows and
participated in numerous gallery invitational and museum exhibitions throughout
the country. Graduated Art Center College of Design.
