"Painting is a process of discovery. Trial and error. A search for self." |

Thanks to Dan McCaw for the inspiration. I put away the reference material and worked from the heart. This collection was created without reference material. The people and scenes are images from my imagination and countless drawings from ideas scribbled on pads, worksheets, bar napkins. They were worked up in pencil on newsprint. Corrections and changes were made before I started on canvas. I hope you enjoy the results. |

Mindscapes, painted without visual reference, are more about expression
and mood than place."

"Pastels ( pure paint pigment with a binder) gives me
a direct result I can't get with oils. Color is right at hand." |

" Nudity is a difficult concept for some. For in our nakedness therein lies the truth."
