Why do I paint? Because Susan - plus paint - plus paper - makes my spirit rock!
What draws me to a subject is the feeling it has, the composition possibilities and the light.
I begin by going on photo shoots, to the shore, the blueberry barrens, garden or kitchen and compose with my camera, covering my subject from different angles and being aware of what the subject is saying.
In the studio, I make a new composition by looking at several views, cropping and sketching thumbnails, with attention to design and value. When I have things the way I like them, I move to the painting, with the basic idea to start.
From that point on the process is boss and I am guided by the meditation.
