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.
