Paintings in a realistic style, colorful and bold!
Las Vegas Nevada

Try as I might to make bold, soul-searching statements with my artwork I always seem to return to paintings that demonstrate the peace, comfort, and relaxation I feel when painting.  Any statement derived will be respectful of you, the viewer, with perhaps a gentle nudge to rest here a while and contemplate a bit longer.

 

I have been advised that the only way to make a name in the art world is to pick one subject and stick to it.  That may be good advice and I have tried to do it, but before I know it I am longing to paint a flower, a copper pot, or a face.  Art in one's soul will not be satisfied staying within manmade boundaries. Sunlight shining in a certain way, a striking color, or a random thought are reasons to start the journey into a new painting.

 

The journey through a painting is just that.  There are lessons learned along the way, miles of strokes to be put down, choices to be made.  When the journey comes to an end I will have created a work of art.  Something that did not exist before I took the journey, completed as no other could, and one of a kind.
