Artist Statement:
My acrylic canvases are a
product of having run through
all media and now settling on
canvas. They seem to suit my
need for color, line, shape,
and composition and a wee bit
of realism (semi-abstract).
Mostly, these canvases are
developed by subtraction and
then addition, but by no means
do they satisfy me until the
color is complete and the
values are simpatico. It is
the value of color as well as
color that makes these
canvases work. Also notice
the ground. Without a proper
beginning feeling the painting
can’t proceed.
I have lived in the North
Carolina mountains for 25
years and the shapes of the
farm patches on the side of a
mountain never cease to amaze
me. I paint those shapes time
and time again, but always
differently. Mountain and
flower garden shapes are very
closely related. So, when I
start a painting I put down
line which always develops
into shapes on the canvas.
The shapes may be a garden in
full bloom or mountain forms
or just an abstraction, but my
basic organic feeling is
always there.
Why do I do it? How can I
say, except that when I’m not
...
