Musings
Something about my paintings that shouts vitality, intuition and fresh.. My interest in painting is simplicity and spontaneity with bright and bold brushwork.. The goal is to create color happenings with glowing color combinations. The colorful approach is not shy; it's dramatic color expressing the spirit of the place Some scenes just have to be painted, so I nix the detail and capture the energy with messy strokes and confident pleasure!! I want the art lover to notice there are more colors in a tree than just green; see the lavendar in the shadows and the goldens in the sunny spots.
To start I use big brushes and make abstract rough strokes creating color masses that guide me to the next step of definition. It's the many subtleties of tones and values that create form and builds a good foundation. Then translating natures objects into a myriad of shapes and un-named marks I let intuition take over to capture the vision and express the spirit with WOW color!
