Artists Statement

“There are but three fundamental colors---red, yellow, and blue.” Vincent van Gogh

And if Vincent said it then it must be true!? So I go with it, but I go with it because I like it that way. Three primaries, with maybe a daub of violet, and a bit of green, that which some people would call a limited palette. For me, it’s all that’s needed to make a painting that feels fresh and alive. And that’s where I need to be at this space in my life.

I paint with acrylic paint on gallery wrapped canvas. Occasionally I do ‘color sketches’ on paper which sometimes end up at exhibit as matted paintings. I do not make reproductions of any of my paintings, so each one that you look at is a unique rendering of my point of view.

Enjoy, and thanks for looking.

Thanks Tcart! I am pretty sure I am left of center regarding bold color :), and every now and then I do try to hold back a bit, but it always wins. I always say color is good for us to live with.
