Teppla is an Austin, TX based oil painter specializing in portraying luminosity on canvas. Starting with charcoal in his youth, contrast of opposites has always appealed to him. Today with his oil paintings, he explores the vivid intensities that color can achieve. Cloudscapes are his way of practicing what he's learned from observing light. Their dynamic form and texture provide a fertile ground to generate ideas, and their ambiguity allows the viewer to infuse their own meaning of the clouds.
