"Bringing the Museum to You"

ARTIST'S STATEMENT:

"Each artist creates his own language in color.  I consider color to be the foremost component of my painting.  By laying down large fields and flattening them out in some areas, I can draw out strong planes of color from the image.  I am always experimenting.  Sometimes I lay down thin washes to catch the power of the idea more quickly.  I like to obeserve the reflections on a pond in the Spring and Fall.  Winter interests me because the snow creates big, abstract areas.  The more I get into the art, the more depth I find.  The simplest idea, like Cezanne's apples, is sometimes the most incredible."
