Qualities of size, color, texture, tone and space dominate my thinking and direct my
 
actions as I paint. I assign no specific symbolic significance to elements within my
 
pictures. My primary intention is to create a distinctive visual order that attracts that holds my

attention. The quality of this order is the significance of my work and gives form to intentions

that seems otherwise indescribable.

     For the past several decades my pictures endured layers of revision, proceeding indirectly

from start to finish over periods of weeks and months. During 2024, the process and look

of my pictures changed dramatically. I began working exclusively with watercolor on

paper in an alla prima manner without consideralbe revision.
