My attachment to the outdoors motivates me to record these scenes on paper and canvas as a way to preserve what I see disappearing. I feel you don`t have to go much further than your own back yard for inspiration and subject matter. I believe for an artist to paint he needs to learn how to see. An artist`s gift is the ability to see something special in an otherwise ordinary scene and to portray the ultimate truth.
