A picture shouldn’t be explained, it has to explain itself.

An oil painting must have life and energy flowing within it. The job of an Artist is to transfer the energy from the subject to the picture and make life stay there forever.

Oil painting is like a language and an Artist talks through his art. That is why most of us like to be alone and away from other people. After hours of talking through the painting there is no energy left to talk to others.

Yes, we communicate with our own paintings. Paintings are like our own children, and when it is time to let go we are never ready for it. My goal is to have my art go to the right person, who understands art.
