“Most of my paintings reflect a moment in time where it is important
to capture an immediate impression. I assess the composition,
the values, the proportions and color, then I paint, all the while trying
to maintain the initial feeling that drew me to paint the particular
landscape, person or still life. Sometimes a small painting is completed
in a single day. More often, the painting is completed in the studio.
I refine and work on various elements while trying tenaciously
to keep its freshness."
