Surely
the gift of being creative is a wonderful thing but talent comes
from hard work and discipline. The final painting that leaves my
easel has a carefully designed structure that guides my choices
throughout the process. Great design is my starting point and many
of my paintings had numerous drawings done before the brush touched
the surface. We fool ourselves if we think that it is possible to
produce meaningful work without learning the skills and lessons
of the masters. As with all the arts there needs to be a concentrated
period of work and practice in order to have the ability to express
that intangible sense of life that we wish to share through our
work. Although I have my favorites when it comes to subject matter,
I believe that all things can be made beautiful if your goal is
to apply the principles of composition and the management of color
to your work. It is not objects that I strive to paint but the essence
of light that surrounds and washes over them.
I am a life
long resident of Bucks County Pennsylvania and teach “Understanding
Color” along with traditional oil painting techniques from
my Red Stone Farm Studio. Please visit my website or email for information.
My painting
“Calves in the Field” received an Honorable Mention
at the Art Renewal Center International 2009/2010 Salon™ and
selected for exhibit at the Butler Institute of American Art National
Midyear Exhibition in 2010.
