I consider my paintings to be realist /impressionist, and I use oil paint as my principal medium. My choice to use
painting knives as my only tools, has given my work a distinctive look and feel. I'm actually sculpting the paint to
the canvas. It is a very difficult technique to master and it is a continual learning process. I pay careful attention
to the composition and the colors I will use. Many elements go into achieving a successful painting and they all
must be in balance. This is an artists primary objective...If he is successful then the painting will be also.
