I like to have my art pull your view into the artwork and generate in your mind thoughts as if you could actually venture down one of my painted country roads or paths. Or maybe you would like to be soaring like an eagle among the warm sunsets in a painted sky. As a visual artist my goal is to interact with you through my artworks.

Before painting on a new canvas I brush on a coating of white Acrylic Gesso. Doing this creates a white surface mat with a light tooth on the canvas. The tooth in artist terms is the tightness of the canvas weave. I use artist oil paints for all my canvas artworks. After the appropriate amount of time has passed my oil paintings receive an application of Artists' Retouching Varnish for a protection. It brings the original oil paint quality back from dry or dull oils. It is a preliminary non-yellowing varnish which keeps the painting safe while drying until a final varnishing can be applied at a proper time. If you like I am more than happy to varnish my original artworks for you.
