abstract blues series, watercolor on paper Print

I play with paint, water, oil, oil bar and pencil. I visually record where i have been or what i see. Each series in my body of work tells a story, its ongoing. i love the word scribe for people who record music etc and in some ways i fall into that category and identify. Not all of my work is figurative, sometimes i wish to faithfully capture and image of a place and sometimes its a feeling or a memory that i am after. The mediums i use do dictate to a certain extent, i cannot get too detailed while using oil bar, and i consider this to be a good thing for me, allowing a free flow of concepts and ideas. i like change, and using different mediums enhances all of the experiences within my art. I greatly admire the work of J.M.W. Turner for the essence he imbued in his work. I also love the work of Hockney in contemporary art, he really pushes the boundaries. I relate to Artemesia Gentileschi for her staying power , in her time it was a mans game to paint. Anyone who takes the risk to expose there work has my admiration, so i am grateful for those who have gone before me.
