“The work of Leonard, one of California’s leading abstract expressionist painters, is often influenced by German painter Gerhard Richter. “I’m pulling paint, layering one layer at a time, which creates a sense of history in the painting. It’s like looking at a fence post that’s been repainted over a period of time. You can see the different colors and layers,” he explained about his process. His paintings can have up to thirty or forty layers. Leonard has exhibited internationally and his paintings can also be found in private and corporate art collections across the United States and Europe.”
