I paint the quiet of a still and golden evening sky over the land, the sultry glow of green Ohio summers shimmering in lakes and streams, a vibrant bloom shaking in the wind or basking in the late fall sun. Exploring with oils and applying new ideas is an essential part of the energy I put into each painting. The simple messages in our everyday life offer a rich cache of vibrant subjects for paints, brushes and palette knife. The discipline of drawing and the understanding of composition, value, edges and hue is necessary in developing each painting. With endless choices to be resolved, a plein air canvas gains in air and grows in depth or a studio painting becomes vibrant. Each subject has its own symphony and complexity of colors. The adventure does not end with finding the site or subject which lends its inspiration; I want to capture the atmosphere and the unique experience of the moment. Painting is all about the poetry of light and line, the rhythm of an image unfolding on my canvas.
