I paint because I see the hand of God in the landscape and I recognize the miracle of creation.
As an artist I want to draw viewers to appreciate a moment of beauty they might not have otherwise recognized.
As an artist I never stop seeing the composition, values, colors, and edges of the landscape, still life...or the world.
As an artist I never stop striving to capture more perfectly the intangible effects of light, air and distance.
As an artist I never stop contemplating, wondering, comparing, and searching for understanding of all of that.
As an artist my soul never stops yearning to honor the wonder of creation with the skill I have nurtured over so many years of oil painting practice.
I paint because I live...and I am more alive because I paint.
