"As an oil painter,
I paint because I like discovering something’s unique beauty, and then
capturing my feelings about it in paint. As I discover each aspect of
beauty I record it with a brushstroke, just like a musical note, only I
do it with a color note of paint. My variegated brushwork and the
textural way I apply the paint do much of the work as I communicate the
beauty that I see in the subject. Part of what makes these paintings
"impressionistic" is that I only paint those elements that strike me, an
edited mosaic of brushstrokes, not a photographic rendering of every
detail. These brushstroke impressions also involve the
viewer...since the detail is not included, the viewer’s own eyes,
emotions, and memories complete the painting."
