When we consider original paintings, we seldom throw away an original painting. At least, we would pass the painting on to a relative or friend that would enjoy having it on their wall. It does my heart good to know that all the hours I spend on a painting will likely endure some place or another once it departs my studio.
The need for creative expression has always been on my Life's Agenda; it fills a need to give something good back to the world rather than always taking. I always thought the process of putting paint to board is magical and this thought permeates my painting. I imagine being part of a community that began with cave painting and continues today...where the paints and brushes have remained the same over the centuries. It's such a privilege to see the work through the eyes of an artist.
