The author Joseph Conrad said the aim of art is to snatch from the remorseless rush of time, a passing phase of life, and hold the rescued fragment before all eyes in the light of a sincere mood. That thought describes much of what my painting is about.
It also explains why many artists like myself are not drawn to traditionally pretty or picturesque subject matter.
It is more interesting to find beauty in unexpected or mundane places.
Put light on almost any subject and you can find some fragment of beauty to snatch from the rush of time.
