Philosophy

My beliefs are simple and uninvolved.  I enjoy emotional painting, choosing subject matter that appeals to me, using methods and materials that suggest themselves, rather than being bound by certain periods or trends. My work is representational or impressionistic rather than photographic.”

If I had the choice of being a fine draftsman, colorist, or master of composition, I would choose the latter, as it is the foundation of all work¸ regardless of subject material, techniques or whether the approach is realistic, or abstract, traditional or contemporary.”

I have been fortunate to have studied with a wide range of good painters…to have had the Inn and Studio on Cabbage Key…where skies, waters, and boats were a great stimulus to my painting…and to have found the same, but different, material in our traveling sketching…and to have continued enjoying what has been my primary interest in painting the figure.”
