​​Thoughts About Art and Tradition ​

I have studied and taught many styles of painting. For me the late nineteenth and early twentieth century is where my heart beats and pulse race.

The loose brushwork the simplicity of shape and color making a work that is viewed up close looks like a crazy patchwork, but a few feet back the world and life of the artwork tells you a story. 

Taking a peek into a moment of mood and time. Dancing to a song that will sing to your heart. Hoping that you can spend a little time with it to share a bond that may never be again. Something you can walk away and remember the time you spent. 

I don't produce a lot of work, because I want what I do create to be special. To be the next step in my evolution, not a fritter. So, I paint to find that something in the work, that undefendable quality you can't define with words. 

Creating something positive for the World and her future. To connect with you and the people who will come after we are long gone. Even if it's a simple painting of a flower in a cup of water as the sun peaks through an old window and a torn curtain with dancing dust only seen in the Sun's rays.

I can only hope you find peace in your world as I do when I paint.
