There is a fairly wide diversity of subject matter in my paintings. Although I always paint the things that I find interesting, what I paint is occasionally less important to me than how I paint it. Watercolor is a wonderful medium that can be adventurous as well as humbling. The results of my efforts are often somewhat surprising to me if not downright startling. Art is an intriguing and continual learning experience that is hardly ever conquered but rather discovered, piece by piece, as we explore our medium in pursuit of expression of our bliss.
I use the finest grades of paint and paper in my work and I always prepare my paintings for hanging with the best materials. I believe that neither a frame nor a mat should detract from the image itself so, unless otherwise instructed, I use an off-white mat, Plexiglas and a simple frame when framing my works. With archival-quality supplies and preparation, a watercolor painting will last for generations.
