My subjects are largely representational (with leanings towards impressionism) based on observations of my surroundings, in landscapes, florals, and human studies. I paint with oils & acrylics in saturated color with heavy emphasis on light, color, and shadows. My digital camera and I are on the constant prowl for early morning or late afternoon shadows. The lush florals I create in both still lifes and landscapes come from my own gardens and those who live around me. Living in the Midwest gives me plenty of subjects, from rural to city scenes. The quest to understand the nuances of nature inspires me to keep searching and growing in this craft. In the last year I started using acrylics in order to paint more quickly. Painting quickly has been a trademark of mine and using other mediums has broadened my horizons. My vision will continue to change as my life and the lives around me change.
