My desire to paint comes from observation. It may be the gesture of someone talking on a city street, or the way the late sunlight reflects off a factory window. Sometimes the image becomes abstract during the painting process. I layer color with raw strokes of paint using a palette knife. I use bold color to create movement in the work. Observation of the world around us is being lost with the development of technology. People have become more focused on electronic devices and have become too distracted to see. I am always looking and always rewarded with a vision that I want to paint.
