In Karl Heerdt’s fifth one man exhibit at the gallery, titled “Nature’s Palette”, many collectors and admirers of Karl’s oil paintings will be familiar with the expertly chosen greens of marshes, meadows and woodlands, as well as skillfully rendered rivers, creeks and falls. In this progression of new works, Karl appears to fully tap into the mindset of Tonalist masters, whose mission was “concern for emotion, mood, conceptual truth and reality beyond appearances, not the objective rendering of nature.”

The artist states, “Only after studying and borrowing from the best in history will an artist forge ahead, break new ground…” Moments of pervasive beauty are the impetus for his work, and also his declaration, “This is why I must paint. I know of no better and more enjoyable way to process and express these feelings.”
