My goal in creating a painting is to analyze the "heart" of the subject and then to develop the scene with color and tone value that will give the viewers the feeling of being there.

This strategy helps me to determine the mood of the painting .  I prefer subjects which can be painted in may different compositions.  Mood, vibrant flow of color and soft lighting describe the individual experience and interpretation of each of my paintings.

Painting on location enables me to feel the spirit of the environment .  When painting on location, decisions must be make quickly to formulate a plan because of the changing light and weather of the Southwest.  Therein lies the wonderful challenge.  I hope that the viewer will enjoy my experience and excitement.
