Formerly an art director, graphic designer, photographer, and head of
his own advertising agency, Richard Yeager now devotes all of his
energies to painting and pictorial photography. He is equally at home
with brush or camera, and sees each merely as tools for creative
expression.
His paintings are traditional in approach, whether landscape or
figurative, with an emphasis on capturing the quality of light and
essence of the subject. They exhibit a strong underlying sense of
composition and superb draftsmanship.
He prefers to paint landscapes "en plein air" - outdoors on location."To set up the easel and paint on the spot - with all the nuances of
color, light and shadow, plus the sounds, the smells, the weather,
even the nuisances of insects, excessive heat or cold, wind, and the
interruptions of passers-by - seems to enhance the process of
painting and provides the most profound opportunity to capture the
character of a place."
