Without emotional content we make pictures; with it, we create art.

The environment becomes inspiration. My response to it becomes idea. And idea becomes purpose and action through interpretation and painting.

Editing and selectivity are processes that provide the first steps in determining and conveying content.

An artist who makes pictures that look good but express nothing is like a writer whose words sound good but have no meaning.

In the editing process, I delete what I do not want to use, move what remains around if necessary and add elements that I feel will make my visual statement as clear and understandable as possible.

Draw and paint the subject the way you want it to be, not as it is.

Painting several comparative images is a profitable way to begin to understand the concept of content.
