“Being an artist is not just a job. It is what I am. As an artist I interpret and
analyze things I see. For example, a single tree is not just a tree, it is shapes,
shadows, and values painted with feeling and emotions. Ninety-Nine percent
of my oil paintings are done on site “alla prima”. I feel that it allows me to
capture the light that caught my eye as well as the true colors of nature. I love
what I do and it is my goal to pass that love along in my work. If a viewer can
step into the scene I have just painted and get as much pleasure from it as I
did painting it, I consider it a successful painting.”
