“Going forward each day, trying to take even a small slice of something memorable and incorporating it into my paintings is my objective. I paint in a realist style, influenced by Vermeer, Claesz, Heda, and others. Dramatic light, texture and color depth are what I strive for bringing the subject matter to life on the canvas. Most of my paintings are still-life and floral, but there is an occasional landscape or figurative piece. I use oil paint and an old world technique that I really enjoy. Even though it is time consuming each step allows me to incorporate what I feel is important to make the painting work well.”
