OILS

The painting at once must appear very complicated and very simple. As a work progresses, unplanned for patterns emerge – light, movement, stroke, color, humor, line, softness, shadow, weather, focus, shape, temperature, electricity, brightness of sparkle, energy, attitude, and so on, and on. My job is to retain and circulate continued interest on many fronts, to discover and balance patterns, to keep the viewer thinking and wanting more.
