I keep painting because sometimes I glimpse, in my work or the work of others, what the simple combination of paint, canvas and wood can achieve: a mysteriously powerful compression of emotion, memory, and visual delight.
Painting, like making music, is an activity beyond words, a reaching for the emotional and unconscious world.
Thirty or more thin acrylic glazes are brushed, troweled, and rubbed on each painting to achieve the final surface.
