Forms III Painting

This is a one of a kind acrylic painting on canvas. Many of my paintings tend to start in the form of a “day dream” based on something I may have read, seen and/or heard. If the “dream” continues to consume my thoughts and is able to retain my emotional and mental attention, then I work towards turning the vision into a concept that eventually becomes a concrete idea that I bring into reality in the form of a painting. This very personal and intimate process of mine almost always involves catching a glimpse of feelings. As these feelings begin to resonate within me, images start to appear in my mind around which stories begin to form representing those feelings. I often use the beauty of natural settings to create images to tell each subject's story. I believe that nature speaks a language that we all inherently understand and connect to. It has the ability to let us just be "in the moment" and reconnects us to our true self and inner soul. Nature creates atmospheres in which reality and inner feelings intertwine to unveil what we often forget about ourselves.
