Fine Art Drawings and Oil Paintings
I feel blessed to have been born to create. My passion is color, line, pattern and contrast. My medium of choice is oil paint at this time but I also enjoy the line of graphite and charcoal. I reside in the Midwest but love to paint nearly anywhere during any season. I primarily choose the landscape as my subject since nothing compares to the freedom and intimacy of painting outdoors, on location. The moment captures all of my attention and senses. It can only be truly savored when I allow all distractions to fall away and I become enmeshed in the present moment with my subject before me. It's during these moments painting is pure joy.
