Nature's uniqueness with its color, form, hues all inspire me to put oil to canvas. Landscapes, seascapes and wildlife fill my imagination. I love to paint and find satisfaction when others enjoy my art. My technique varies with subject, composition and my color palette is a guide to achieve the desired result. Day to day observances, such as how light falls, allow me to see reflections in water and shadows in woods, all stimulate ideas to be painted. What I experience in life contributes to what I put on canvas.
