Paintings

My primary interest in painting is to see nature as the real with the abstract. Each exists together in this ever-changing, active world. I enjoy visually weaving real nature with non-objective natural thoughts. There is a feeling of freedom when color, line, texture, or shape are as important as a depicted object. And, as stated on my home page, I like to see my finished painting to be alive, active, and energized.

"You are not quite in control of nature; you are part of nature. It doesn't mean that you are helpless, either. It means that the whole question in art is to be wide awake, to be as attentive as possible for the artist and for the person who looks at it or listens to it." - Fairfield Porter
