Impressions in Oil, Acrylic and Watercolor

When I work at my easel I realize that this act is a form of communication with others (prospective viewers) as well as a dialog with between me and my inner self.  I begin a piece by knowing what the subject matter will be, and eagerly wait to see what I am going to reveal about it.  Often I think I have a clear direction to take, then find myself making twists and turns that I did not anticipate. I know a piece is done when there is nothing more to say and I am filled with a sense of discovery.   

I would have to say that my style and techniques have been influenced by the impressionists.  I particularly like the work of Paul Cezanne.  He was absolutely eloquent in his ability to create without strict regard to proportion and perspective while still making the viewer believe the composition.    When someone views my art I don't want them to analyze the rendering of the composition.  I am hopeful that they are sharing my vision, and can find their own personal connection with the piece.
