Art is the subconscious made conscious, the breath of the familiar into a new vision, the awakening of all senses.

I'm a plein air painter- oils.  I extract the breath of shapes or colors and arrange them on a canvas in a way that pleases me.  Always a lot of attention to the painting's surface texture.

Much of my acrylic studio work is based upon the oil pieces- continuing to let the viewer fill in the details of the form.

Most of all I appreciate the mystery of painting.  Frederic Remington suggested that it was best to leave most of the work of a piece off canvas.  I agree- I like to leave the viewers with only the breath of a work so that they can build the form around it themselves.
