I often start painting with no references, just making things up out of my head. I love flowers and the florals in this painting aren't a specific type ~ because I made them up. A couple years ago I was inspired while driving to my studio, driving past masses of blooming roses and meanwhile Eric Clapton was playing in my car. The painting that resulted was 'In the Presence", and just for fun I included the link to that painting ~ the two are very similar in style 'In the Presence' on my website I'm staying with the theme of Eric Clapton songs / lyrics for these floral paintings that I make up, in this painting style. "Grand Illusion' began with a preliminary painting in acrylic paints and I quickly went to oil paints.
I'm focusing on abstracts and abstracted landscapes for 2013; a new season of spring, the time of growth and I'm doing new work. Please contact me if you have questions or want to purchase;
