All my artwork comes from the imagination; perhaps you can refer to it as daydreaming.
Reality is the starting point, and then we spin off into the world of dreams. Colors and shapes may be exaggerated. Bright colors, expressive brush strokes, movement, and design help me express my emotions. My challenge is how do I take this "nice" picture and turn it into an extraordinary picture? I must continually experiment and try new approaches. This keeps my painting bold and fresh.
