My paintings have changed a lot along the way. I always learn from the last painting as well as all the ones that came before. Always moving forward. This year is the start of my "Modern Paintings" series. The question is: what defines a modern painting? The subject matter has come out of these paintings. "Paintings of Nothing" but everything! These paintings are about color. And color can mean a lot of things. Memories, feelings, moods. atmosphere, warmth, cold. They speak! Listen! My inspiration comes from all avenues in my life. Color is everywhere! I use high-quality oil paint which is very permanent. I want these paintings to become family heirlooms. What gives me the most pleasure is when someone buys a painting, enjoys living with it and then decides to come back and buy another one.
