Statement

I absolutely love to get right up close to and into my paintings.
I fine it just a pure pleasure to explore how the shapes fit together.
Touching the different textures and colors are just a delight to taste.
I love the transparencies inherent to watercolors. The fact that I can
obtain the brilliant strong colors, as well as, get the deep darks that
causes it all to come together and sparkle just makes watercolor the
preferred choice for me. When the painting teases my senses, when
I can taste and smell and hear the colors, textures, values, the petals,
the grasses, the air, the water; then I am transformed into all that is
good and right in man and I am allowed to walk amid this wonderful,
strange world, a piece of Eden. At this time, I know others will now
understand and experience.
