"Paintings I admire by artists of past and present all have one element in common, visual power . They have such a resonance that if you close your eyes, they seem burned into your eyelids. Not a scene full of superfluous detail, but the essence of what is key in describing something about the subject. The picture is constructed in such a way that it leads the viewer to a reward at the end of a visual journey."

"That which attracts the artist to the scene and makes him want to capture it. And not by matching every color, value, and detail out there. It's about understanding enough to be able to distill what you see into a coherent, concise visual statement- building the necessary relationships into the picture to get it to read as truth. Too much is always in danger of being said."

"While driving out to Smith's this morning in the foggy drizzle, I began thinking about visual power and those moments when nature provides the "artist's eye." Those times when fog, rain, darkness limits what we see, simplifies the landscape and creates those visually powerful images. They act as filters to what we see, enhances the perception of space, unifies color, eliminates some of the detail. And those tend to be the most memorable."

"The act of seeing is really quite fragmented, when you think about it. The eye constantly darts around, picking out pieces of the world, near and far, always moving, weaving together a world of reality. We can never really clearly see more than a tiny fraction of the world at once. A painting should be stitched together, taking in the whole as one works, bringing it all together at once, gradually building to the point of the whole painting."

"I have been on a renewed journey. Not searching for what to paint, but how to paint what I see.And then, how to paint what I see not as a collection of random details, but as a unified visual statement. A visual event, visual poetry. As poems distill, with limited means, to get to the heart of the matter, so do great paintings."
