I am a watcher. I watch with my eyes, and capture with a paint brush or a camera. I have been blessed to see the world in ways others have not – and I am compelled to share with viewers who need to see along with me.
While this longing is present, the absolute necessity of the matter, and what drives me forward, is that the painting must be a thing of substance and solidity and interest and beauty.
My painter’s eye has a tendency to gravitate toward interesting faces, the street scene, a cafe scene, a weird little architectural structure, and every now and then a vehicle.
Oil is my medium of choice.
And again, the bottom line and always the focus substance and solidity and interest and beauty.
