"Anything under the sun is beautiful if you have the vision. The world is not interested in mere pictures.  People look for this expression of beauty. The painter will never achieve this by merely painting pictures...he must show people more than they already see and he must show them with so much human sympathy and understanding that they will recognize it as if they themselves had seen the beauty and the glory. This is where the artist comes in."

I hope the work has shown you moments of the 'beauty and the glory' and you will continue to seek out paintings whether in a gallery or a museum setting...art sustains us all, makes our lives richer and continues to give us moments of reflection, wonder and peace.

I hope new work reflects continued growth...each painting is the next challenge that teaches me...what a wonderful journey of discovery I am on, and most grateful for your response and appreciation of the work.

New places to visit and new canvas to cover... adventures ahead!
