Light, dark and colour in the right places will create a painting. These variables are all within the artist’s control. The vision to elevate the image to something extraordinary is altogether more fleeting, something intangible that from one painting to the next is the source of elation but more commonly frustration. I strive to make an image that offers more than simple representation rather something with an emotive quality that captures the viewer’s imagination.
