I travel all over the states of Texas and New Mexico finding subjects that have a great appeal both to me and hopefully my viewers. From the spectacular mountains of the west to the prairies of north Texas, to the Texas hill country and Gulf Coast, the visions are all around us, and I love to paint them all en plein aire.
When I am painting, onlookers often ask me why I choose this particular place to set up my easel. The color of the subject is primary.... I am drawn to color and then contrast to create drama. There must be a connective feeling to what I am painting at that moment. Without emotion, the painting becomes a rote copy. Spreading paints from an ever evolving colorful palette gives me verve and joy.
