Spider plant Painting

About me I am a figurative painter and like to work from direct observation. I consider my work to be my personal response to the seen world. In my paintings I don't attempt to tell a story, convey a message or portray an ideal, but rather to capture something that is transient. . The visual worlds excites me , I react to the visual on an emotional level and my work is an attempt to convey the sense of wonder, to grasp that fleeting moment , glimpsed, a moment of recognition that is beyond words or thought, when the thinking mind is suspended and the moment is experienced. When I paint I try to hang on to that moment in memory and work from that. If my paintings find a resonance with the viewer then I am happy.
