I’m getting older, caring less and more at the same time. Caring less about “things” and how I’m perceived. Caring more about those I love and who love me. I enjoy boredom and watching shadows shift across walls, therefore my work reflects this stage of my life. Painting in oils, I paint things from my daily life that strike me. Planned out, I paint in multiple layers sometimes scraping and wiping away as I go. Although I have a plan I leave myself open to possibilities and will change course when necessary.
