"I create my best work when I'm emotionally involved with the subject. Its almost always the light. I am a painter of light as are most accomplished artist. Without it there just isn't much to paint. The subject isnt nearly as important or emotionally stimulating as the light hitting it. The light and the atmosphere it creates is the
inspiration for all of my paintings."
"I feel that my solid background in drawing, received from the "Famous Artist Schools" has given me the Luxury to draw and paint a variety of subjects acurately and with confidence.
"I have never regreted the time and energy spent on my art. Art chose me, I didn't necessarily choose it. I was lucky, I learned early on that good paintings are created from good drawings. Good drawings are created by lots of hard work"
"Any success I have had in life, I owe to God and the loving support of my wife and best friend, Dixie."
