Paintings that act as a salve for the mind have become my new direction, especially now; the world needs more sources of enduring joy than ever before.
Koi Pond provides an escape to peace and quiet. A painting that takes the observer to blissful relaxation. This work is more about a mood than a story, with plenty of nuances.
My paintings are becoming more of a framework; after all a painting is entertainment. The best type of diversion needs to be an understandable feeling or emotion that all of us share at its core.
Working on a new painting now, A Fine and Private Place, a title I borrowed from Peter S. Beagle's novel, one of my favorites growing up.
