Artist Statement

Nudes and Abstracts are my focus now, after being a schitzophrenic artist for 30 years(not literally), in that one minute I paint realism in all it's glory and the next I paint what I feel, but to me the two are not so distinct.

Paramount is be the female form, which never bores me, and like many people, I'm always fighting boredom.
Nothing tests me as much as a nude and I mean detail and accuracy following tested Old Master disciplines.

I want to know the person through the body; all is there if you look hard enough.
The same goes for portraiture.
It's the person.
And this wanting to make contact even goes for my dog, cat or horse paintings.
Same principle.

Feminity fascinates me and this is my main field of exploration now.
It's all about female beauty and I hope I always elevate rather than degrade....
