As a child, I spent hours drawing horses. I was intrigued with their beauty, power and wildness. I watched them with eyes of wonder and curiosity. Nobody critiqued me, neither did I judge my results, I just enjoyed the doing. Overtime I lost some of that ease, and didn’t draw or paint for many years. It doesn’t matter whether I draw or paint horses again, however, I want to recapture some of that earlier freedom in expressing.

Most of my painting are class studies, or interpretations of others works such as a study of a harbor scene, by Childe Hassam. The paintings I chose to study and paint, provided me with an opportunity to use exciting colors, to learn about shapes, and light as well as shadows. I chose themes that offered a sense of spaciousness within, as well as without.
