Artist Statement:
I admire the eccentric artists
of the 19th century, like
Albert Pinkham Ryder and
William Blake as well as many
who were untrained and painted
primitively. I’m drawn to the
way light was beautifully
expressed in paintings by
Romantics like Eugene
Delacroix and Goya.
Wordplay interests me and I
can see humor in life along
with the absurd. I can’t help
but include some of that in my
paintings. Since having a
stroke, I moved to Laguna
Honda Hospital and have been
telling friends this address
sounds like a car dealership
(which I hope would not be
held against me by Saab
specialists) . Like Simon on
the Monty Python BBC series,
“I like to draw pitchers”.
I’ve reread Jules Verne again,
more recently, “The Sphinx of
the Ice Fields: A Sequel to
Edgar Allan Poe's The
Narrative of Arthur Gordon
Pym” after which I made a
painting in 1977.
