'Samurai' Oil on Paper 32 x 26 ------ I find the source and inspiration for my art through my senses. I respond creatively to the things I see and remember. I like best to paint the reality before me; a model, a still life, a landscape, an interior. Visual reality doesn’t bind me. Frequently, I choose to distort or alter my perception of the image I am viewing to increase aesthetic interest. But making art is best and most exciting when I work from three dimensional 'real life'. I also work from photographs, sometimes images I find in books, magazines and newspapers, sometime images I have photographed.
