Why Do I Paint?

Sometimes I paint something just because its beautiful…something that has taken my eye and causes me to stop and look a little longer, to rest in the moment from the busyness of life.

And in those moments, I feel gratitude for life & appreciation for our beautiful world. I feel refreshed.

So when I paint, I try to recreate that moment again for myself and for my viewer.

It is my hope that you feel those things; gratitude, appreciation, and a rest in the moment, when viewing my work.

Putting something beautiful in the world is the work of God and the angels and I am humbled to walk in their footsteps.
