ARTIST'S STATEMENT
I have never understood my need to record in paint portions of the world that surrounds me. While walking or driving - visiting places familiar or not - I feel the urge to capture certain scenes or people, or to create my own 'still-lifes' from beautiful objects, both natural and man-made. I have created hundreds of paintings over the years, and by the time I am done each one I have expended a lot of thought, time and energy - so much so that the naming of my paintings is the least of my worries. Thus, they are usually given extremely boring names. For example, if I paint the Caledon Hills in the evening, I will call it "Caledon Hills - Evening" or a painting of roses and pears will be called just that. Numbered series are one way to get around the problem, and I have done a number of those. In any case, I will continue to paint what grabs my attention, and hope that others find some measure of pleasure in the work that I do.
