"A born optimist, my oil paintings are naturally colorful. I use expressive brush strokes to liberally interpret landscapes and architecture . Colors breathe beauty and happiness to the often overlooked sights around me. . I portray a “glance” at our world, a “snippet”, fresh and unlabored, a scene that is fleeting, familiar and memorable." . |
