About Me |
|
| FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION.
"If you don't know the kind of person I am, and I don't know the kind of person you are, a pattern that others made may prevail in the world and following the wrong god home we may miss our star...." William Edgar Stafford .....I work in series. I do not like to create an individual work unless it is a commission. I prefer to explore, to stretch the idea, to push it, whether it is through medium, color, drawing skill, multiple canvas, etc. I primarily paint, though I do a lot of printmaking, and photography, stand-alone or as support. I am traditionally and academically trained, rather strictly, and believe firmly in discipline- you should practice your skills, carry a sketchbook, camera, study art history, etc. I have recently taken up the clarinet again, and I am re-teaching myself the basics bit by bit, practicing scales, tone. Then, when done, I play for FUN.With a firm foundation from accredited university teachers, some I have known for 25 years (my mentor is also a former Marine...)- I have my rebellious side. I also firmly believe in freedom of expression, not so much through the direct depiction of emotion, but through free application of paint and ideas. Freedom of communication.... I've been busy from seven months of showing- this past summer I've returned to the easel and am working on expressionist paintings of the undeveloped wild side of the river. It may not be til the end of the season(s) that I post new painting pics, it depends how it goes as a series.
