Egos Assumption

Taking a look back at work from your last couple years is an amazing way to see with fresh eyes what seems to be working in our paintings and perhaps even find a missed oppurtunity or two. Doing this digitaly in a photo shop envirement so you can freely experiment with color, light, cropping, and framing might inspire the blue print for your next masterpiece.

But then I have to remind myself that how each person responds to art is in their mind not my mind. I can’t presume to truly understand what people think when they look at art.

Verbal feed back from people who like my work or better yet buy it; might have some interesting insights. To believe I know what others think is just egos assumption.

So at least once a year I ask myself this question: Do we create art for ourselves or others?

My early training was received from the Burnley School of Professional Art now known as the Art Institute of Seattle. My real training as an artist began after graduation and still continues today. A great painter once said, “I spent my life learning how to paint, now I need another life to paint”. One day I'll be discovered, brush clenched in hand, leaving behind an unfinished painting. What more could one ask for? Artist statement: The mechanical aspect of painting is for the most part the application of pigment, to a surface, with intent, to create a lasting impression. The creative aspect of painting requires the applicator to make good use of the tools, understand color, value, and composition........ And most importantly feel the Light.
