The Creative Process
First, I
have to find a subject that is interesting to me. When I find something I like, I have to decide
how to fit the subject on my canvas.
Looking through my camera helps me to decide what point of view I want
to draw from and how to crop the subject. I like
to draw on sunny days when there is a lot of contrast between the light and
shadow areas. It takes about an hour
and a half to make the initial drawing.
I take photographs to paint from in case I don’t
finish the painting outside. I
usually paint in 3 hour sessions and most paintings take 3 or 4 sessions spread
over 3 or 4 weeks to finish. I paint in my home studio, at the Columbus Cultural Arts Center or outside during the summer. This painting of
the Mohawk Restaurant in German Village took about 17 hours to complete. Creating
my art is a joy for me. Every time I
finish a painting it feels like something magical
has happened. It is my pleasure to
share my paintings. Click on
