I love good mysteries and painting contains so many mysteries that it continues to open up new ways of looking at things, people and life in general.

Each painting is a process with clues as to what will work. Sometimes solving or resolving the next step in the process is crystal clear, when a stroke or an idea of how to proceed provides a direction as to what will work, leaving it up to me to resolve why it works. What stroke did I use, what color combination or texture caused the effect, always leaving me with the desire to learn and paint more.
