Welcome to my website! This is the beginning of my great long journey into art.A
I
love painting! What a great medium for expressing ideas through the
language of color, form, design, composition and line. It is fun and
exciting, frustrating and confounding; it demands that you push
yourself further, observe even more closely; take bigger risks. In
return it can give a glorious sense of accomplishment or walk you down
a path of despair to the "WHAT was I THINKING?" syndrome. Needless to
say,,,,,I've been down that path!
In
this vast world of ours there will forever be subject matter to study,
explore, paint and create; that which we see and that which is beyond
what we see. Every sight, every idea that comes to mind is a
springboard for more and more ideas and paintings. There is a great
spirit of life everywhere; in nature; in every people and every nation;
in those who came before us and those yet to be born. This "spirit of
life" is my inspiration. As the late artist and teacher Robert Henri said, "Look for the spirit line that runs through everything". Creativity drives each and everyone of us in its own way. It is the nature of our species to create
so I encourage you to grab your creativity by the hand and express it
in whatever form feels right to you.............FOR THIS IS THE VERY
BEST OF US.
It is with great enthusiasm that I continue upon this journey of learning..... one painting at a time.
My other site, SOUTHWESTERN ART IMAGES www.southwesternartimages.com
is my attempt to portray the beauty & grandeur of the southwest
extending from Arizona, New Mexico, to Colorado and Utah including the
Four Corners. It is a land that I dearly love and hope to show you how
I feel about it, one painting at a time.
I would LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK on my website and artwork. Please email me and let me know what you think at:
