Description of the Artwork “Best Friends”
Best Friends-we all have one - or maybe two or more- they are special, If you haven't seen a best friend for any period of time- you just pick up where you left off- relaxed, joyfull, full of love- so special. This painting attempts to show that relationship- everyone is kicked back- laughing- enjoying each other immensely- special. I use an extremely loose bush style- also relaxed and fluid to convey this mood. the use of harsh light also helps to brighten the atmosphere - overall joy.

Art is my mind, heart, and soul. Sometimes I seek ideas-take photos- plein air- etc., now most things are in my mind -I create using all of the images, feelings, ideas, nature, emotions I have experienced. I often loose myself when working - but not always- you can't force it. When I do loose myself color is applied emotionally and I paint what I feel - sorrow, joy, truth-imagine that! I seek to create "fresh" work and if successful it will capture anxiety, love, melancholy. Prophets were people who recognized the truth and told the truth- I try to be truthful. I have observed the world around me for decades - the human condition, light, shadow, hues- and when everything is working it is undeniable. I really enjoy creating large paintings -they can be so dramatic - tragedy, excitement, doom, exhilaration-and a statement. Art like truth cannot be denied.
