Welcome to my website. I use most paint and drawing media. In general I may paint something to convey an idea, experience or feeling about something. I paint a lot of trees and flowers, simply because I like them Sometimes my paintings or drawings may refer back to something I have read,. Whatever they refer to, they do almost inevitably originate in something I have seen at some point. I'm not sure that it is ever possible to do anything completely non figurative, or abstract. Depending on the thing I am depicting, I work from sketches or directly from the subject itself.
