STATEMENT ABOUT MY WORK…
I enjoy the challenge of painting especially with watercolors. My paintings are often complex because again I am motivated to capture on paper a scene or still life which seems impossible to do with paint and brush. I visualize the simplified approach to do these paintings. Painting outdoors is another favorite pastime enabling me to travel and search for subject matter.
