Artist Statement:
An active painter for more
than thirty years my artistic
goal has been two-fold: first
to do a competent rendering of
the subject with a sense of
place and time. Second to
instill in the work the
feeling of my own emotional
reaction to the subject
As a young man I was a student
for three years at the
Pennsylvania Academy Of The
Fine Arts, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Our studies
included drawing, figure work,
landscape painting, and
illustration. All of the
teachers of these classes
critiqued our work severely on
the basis of rendering,
drawing, composition, design
and color. Francis Speight,
who taught landscape was the
person who, in addition to
rendering, made me understand
the importance of my emotional
response to the subject. That
advice makes painting more
difficult for me but I'm
satisfied that it makes for
better work.
Most of my work is done with
oils. For Plein Aire work I
prefer pastels and pencil
simply because they are easier
to carry and set up on
location....
