A few words from the artist


Before I begin a painting I do several small outdoor sketches of a scene that inspires me. In this phase of constructing a painting, I work out abstract shapes and initial color that comes to me from my first impression. After completion of the initial sketch I put the image away for a week or more. When I start to work on the painting again, I bring out my original outdoor sketch, I try to transfer that original feeling that transpired when I created the piece.I try to capture the feeling of light ,color and shape, and the emotional mood of the place. People's verbal responses to the visual elements in my paintings are important information for me, what elements are effective in achieving the purpose and mood of the painting? This type of information provides positive feedback for future sucessful paintings.
