So many challenging decisions to be made at this stage of a painting. After so many years you'd think it would get easier 🤔
ABOUT MY WORK
Through my paintings and etchings, I hope to promote a sense of peacefulness and serenity and give the viewer an escape from the stresses of everyday life. I especially love exploring nature and its many moods and invite the viewer to take time to enjoy, meditate and savor the subjects of my works.
Over the years I’ve experimented with a variety of mediums and techniques, and like all artists I found those I liked more than others. Oil painting was something I had tried when an uncle gave me a set of paints . . . and I was hooked. I’ve also tried acrylics, but they are quite different from oils and handle very differently. And then there’s watercolors. Watercolors elicit a look and feel that cannot be achieved with oils, so I love working in watercolors when I feel my vision will be better conveyed using that medium.
INSPIRATION
Nature in general, has always been very inspiring to me ~ whether it be a single tree, amazing sunset or sky, or reflective waters. From the breaking of dawn to late into the starry night, inspiration has no limits. If time is taken to look and analyze, everywhere you look there’s a painting just waiting to be born.
The inspiration for my paintings is a combination of real life and what is imagined ~ I enjoy the challenge of painting from life and sometimes utilizing the vast library of photos I’ve amassed over the years and incorporating something from one photo or many, to create the vision and feeling I’m trying to convey. Mood and lighting are crucial to any painting and often is the main focus of my work. When I begin a new painting, I generally have a good idea of what the finished piece will look like before I put a brush to paint but the direction could change as I’m working and seeing the painting take shape . . . I find the possibilities are endless.
