I enjoy the adaptation of color and it’s manipulation within the work, often not holding true to what colors I see before me, but choosing to enhance or alter these to lift the mood or theme and greater reflect the paintings whole. Much of my original influence for a painting is often drawn from the play of light and shadow across the arrangement, or the strength of a key color within the scene and it’s effect across the grouping. I try to paint quickly, but methodically keeping my original vision always at the forefront of my mind. This however can often evolve as the painting continues and take me in a new and exciting direction before the painting’s completion.
