Moving from copying to suggestive brush work is one of the biggest challenges an artist can face. the painting should be an interpretation of the beauty that you see to copy is a low aim. In my opinion the subject is not the most important but the way it’s painted. Hours: 9am – 4pm

Painting brings me great joy, and, I hope, uplifts the hearts of those who view my work. I like to explore the subtle ways that light affects the subject. I also enjoy color, but the value relationships in a scene are what interest me most. I also like to emphasize the abstract nature of what surrounds us.”
