Artist Statement:
“There are but three
fundamental colors---red,
yellow, and blue.” Vincent
van Gogh
And if Vincent said it then it
must be true!? So I go with
it, but I go with it because I
like it that way. Three
primaries, with maybe a daub
of violet, and a bit of green,
that which some people would
call a limited palette. For
me, it’s all that’s needed to
make a painting that feels
fresh and alive. And that’s
where I need to be at this
space in my life.
I paint with acrylic paint on
gallery wrapped canvas.
Occasionally I do ‘color
sketches’ on paper which
sometimes end up at exhibit as
matted paintings. I do not
make reproductions of any of
my paintings, so each one that
you look at is a unique
rendering of my point of view.
Enjoy, and thanks for looking.
