Rhythmic Motion, 3, 2, 1
20" X 29" Watercolor/Collage

My work consists of watercolors, oils and mixed media.  My medium of choice for several years has been watercolors and I’m now exploring watercolor collage and oil collage.  I’m utilizing collage to transform the traditional two dimensional painting medium into a three dimensional visual surface while continuing to paint on flat surfaces. 

Although my subject matter may be somewhat representational at times consisting of traditional landscapes such barns set in a snow scene and still lives, several of my current pieces are contemporary abstracts creations.

In my snow scenes, I like to contrast the warm colors of weathered barn siding with the cool color variations of snow.  I’m a minimalist and do not like to over load my paintings with excessive details since my objective is to present to the viewer just enough content to capture a mood or emotion.  Several of my paintings convey a peaceful, homelike, intimate realism.

I find myself constantly analyzing everything around me which allows me to create endless possibilities of subject matter for new paintings
