Artist Statement:
In terms of style I am a
Classical Realist. I generally
paint with oil, and especially
like to use it for
portraiture. With some
paintings I begin with an
imprimatura, for others I use
a solid acrylic underpainting,
later overpainting with
transparent glazes and
translucent scumbling and
there are times that I paint
alla prima. Using these
methods, I paint landscapes,
still lifes and portraits;
painting my subjects from
life, as it allows an intimacy
that a photograph or a sketch
cannot provide.
Painting portraits provides me
with the opportunity to create
a work of art that encompasses
beauty and timelessness. I
paint with the idea that one
day these portraits may become
heirlooms, cherished by future
generations.
