"Time" Painting

I began to paint in oils at the age of 10 years old and, after 54 years working, now begin to really feel that something can be achieved. Why did it take so long? Understanding the technique is one thing but motif is another. I call my paintings "Impression Realism" as they all grow out of an initial impression which develops itself into a kind of vision, representing an experience. The motifs find me, call me and demand to be depicted. I have often felt lucky to not have gotten involved in commercial production and so have worked with great freedom and the kind of success which comes from selling without depending on anything else but the actual painting. I hope that they will be enjoyed!
