I enjoy painting with strong composition, saturated color, and a dash of texture. I do not have any prejudgement as to what a finished painting should "look" like in the end, but rather what it should feel like.
I prefer to paint images where the subject is still, but the colors and textures have movement.
During the process of painting a picture I do a lot of experimenting , looking for a new approach to a painting. This shows up most in the way I portray the relationship between the subject and its surroundings.
The Masters, the colors of Camille Pissarro, the light of Monet, the movement of Van Gogh, and the classical beauty of Michelangelo, inspire me.
