The Painting that Started it all
I started this painting just to paint, but my wife saw potential in my work. She purchased canvases, paint, brushes, and so much more on a weekly basis for me to continue painting. Because of her encouragement, love and support, I continued to paint. If not for her, most of what you see here or this website would not have ever existed.
stories about my paintings
An accidental technique
I was in Jiangxi Province, China during the winter. All I had was a small canvas, a few brushes and acrylic paint but not ideas. Just for fun, I dripped paint on the canvas; turned it over and repeated the same process. It started to tell a story, so I continued working until the story was told. What is the story being told here? The answer is up to you.
The exact opposite of what I wanted to paint
AÂ change of perspective to see beyond the obvious
You may have seen this particular painting at the top of the page. Here is the story; When I paint, I tend to look at the work-in-progress from different angles. For this particular painting, after I finished it and turned it up-side-down, I realized that the painting made a whole lot more sense this way.
I planned to paint a colorful abstract painting with "Summer colors;" blue, green, white and hues of all bright colors. It was a good start until I let go of the planned creative process and let my subconscious mind take over. End result; a painting far more thought provoking and difficult to understand than what I had planned.
