Western NC provides such a variety of beautiful subjects to paint.

It is always a wonderful decision deciding what to paint—landscape, animals, still life, or architectural subjects.

Primarily I’m interested in how the light illuminates these subjects. Capturing the light brings out the color and gives movement and depth to any painting. My style in oil is about relating to the viewer, and the use of realism in a painterly approach. The desire and discipline to paint is an endless and gratifying pursuit that’s never ending.

I hope you will come to my Deer Run Studio on October 23 or 24, 2015 during the Open Studio days in Waynesville. It’s a wonderful time to share with friends who are interested in art.
