I enjoy the beauty of color with accurate draftsmanship. A certain austere study is what I seek in my paintings and drawings, regardless of the
subject. Days spent in my studio, next to my lake, quietly working on a still-life or portrait are very fulfilling.

Discovering the tones in the shadows, then the middle tones, then the cool lights-over and over again until the piece requires no more
development or revisions is what the process is for me.

I try never to hurry any aspect of the picture, and I only work on the section that seems to need attention at that time. I try to let the piece
unfold naturally.
