After years of this, you'd think I would have a better explanation than this: I paint to make pictures. Still life painting attracts me, but anything from nature will do. The silent companionship of grouped objects, the translucence of old glass, these are things that stir me.
I won't deny the thrill of eye to hand coordination in the drubbing age of e-this, e-that; the deliberate density of oil paint spread with the palette knife, the quicker bristles of a brush. So I have an urge to improve, the endless need for subject matter, and a desire to communicate through visual imagery. 2017
