For me, the reason to paint any picture – portrait, landscape, still life or floral is to share my feelings about life itself. When painting a picture, I tell the viewer what I like, what I believe and what I am concerned about. If I can convey some portion of what I feel or see in a painting, then I have done my job as an artist. I am an optimistic person so my paintings and choice of medium present that point of view. It is through composition, the pattern of light, shapes of objects and negative space I can lead the viewer through the painting, showing what I would most want them to see and think about.
