To me, art is a way of exploring possibilities. It can communicate, inspire and provoke emotion or thought in ways other mediums cannot. It is simple to say a painting or sculpture cannot affect the life of the everyday person. However, working and money and gathering possessions are
not what we are meant for.
We are meant for art. To express. To create. To achieve.
When we create the same forces move us as those that moved Picasso, Da Vinci, and Rembrant. Because our results are different or less recognized the act of creation is just as important. This is why
I draw.
My own drawings are simple and private. I do them for myself and I rarely show them to anyone. This way I can keep my perspective,
somewhat, pure and develop my own style in my own way. At least that's my thinking on the subject. I'm rarely satisfied with the end result of
my drawing, but I know if I don't try I will never succeed, and I've been pleased with my results with more frequency as time has gone on.
A goal of this webpage is to take some risks in learning and expression. In keeping with this idea I’ve put up some of the drawings I’m pleased with,
to view. Many of these have never been seen. I hope they are enjoyed. Comments on them are welcome.
