“A painter should begin every canvas with a wash of black, because all things in nature are dark except where exposed by the light.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
"I began to paint in my mid-fifties, shortly after the death of my brother..."
Steve was a gifted graphic artist and I know that my painter-life stems from this loss. Since then, painting has become a part of my everyday life. I find myself painting at least three days a week – I think I am making up for lost time!
I associate painting success with the ability to capture light in a manner that conveys the texture and feeling of a particular place, or a moment in time. The single most important feature of any canvas is the treatment of light, no matter the subject. I paint with oils and acrylics – sometimes both.
I create traditional landscape, seascape, still life paintings and figurative works. I believe that learning is a lifelong process and I am truly enjoying the painter's journey.
In short, I paint because it lends peace and meaning to day-to-day life. I strive to share my wonder and appreciation for the beauty of the natural world, but mostly I am just grateful for every opportunity to paint.
