Influences on my new work

I've looked at many landscapes over the past 3 months, and just realized that my memory paintings have some resemblance to a painting entitled "Sapling Forest, Cherry Pum Blossom" by Australian artist Clifton Pugh. This work was marked as one of my favorites from the book, 100 Paintings You Must See Before You Die and is one of the few 20th century paintings in the book that represent nature as a subject. I also found an interesting video clip in which Pugh describes his approach to plein air painting.
