I live in a city, but love to get out to the countryside, especially to explore swamps and river scenes. The reflections are endlessly fascinating, with the layered colours, reflections and distorted images, Sometimes I paint 'en plein air', but If I can't get out to paint on location, I turn to the photos I've taken. This painting was done in the studio, holding fast to memories of a gorgeous day spent beside the Grand River, about an hour from home. I hope it brings you the same calm and joyful feelings. "From the Bridge" is framed in a simple, classic wood frame, painted black, wired and ready to hang.

I paint what is around me – downtown Hamilton, nearby landscapes, and the people close to me. For rural paintings, I often work on location, while urban paintings and portraits generally develop in the studio from photographs or video stills. My impetus to make a painting comes from the everyday physical world - I see something that captures my attention, often mundane but surprising in its beauty. However, once I commit to a painting, it’s the paint itself that engages me. What I paint - the subject - is not irrelevant, but it becomes less important than the marks I make on the surface of a board. My goal is to paint what I see, but not copy what I see. I am interested in creating a work that is realistic and recognizable, but I am not aiming for "high realism". I try to get at the truth of something, while letting the paint itself be the protagonist in the story. That may be through impasto, visible brush strokes, drips, scumbled layers of broken colour and abstract passages. Water and reflections are a source of delight and fascination. That might be a swamp, a rainy road, a swimmer, even water in a glass -- any of these are fair game for a painting. While the subjects may seem quite different, for me they are strongly tied together through the paint handling, as the paint itself almost becomes the subject.
