I'm an outdoor painter painting from life. All of my paintings are oil paintings. They are characterized by short brush strokes and bright light and use of complimentary colors.

Paintings have a life of their own that derives from the painter's soul.

I can envision the finished painting before I start. I read occasionally about an artist who says I sit before my canvas and I don't know what I'm going to do. I don't believe that.

It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.

The light will actually go right in. You can use it like an oil painting.

You ain't no oil paintin' but you are a fascinatin' monster.
