Artist Statement:
In these first few years of my
career
I have concentrated on
techniques to
yield the most realism
possible with
a few light washes of
transparent
watercolors. This comes from
my
desire to control this
difficult
medium and have some
quantitative
results when comparing to
references
used in the creation process.
I am
pleased with the results that
I can
achieve, even with slightly
technical subjects. This need
to
control water comes from my
wish
to control the world around
me.
When I see something 'wrong'
in
the real world, I wish that I
could
just lift it right out of the
painting. It's too bad it
takes
more than clear water and a
delicate
hand to correct all the ills
of our
global society. ...
