For me, painting is a means of emotional expression. the focus of my work is impressionistic, surreal and, mostly, abstract oil paintings on stretched canvas. i use a style known as "indirect painting". this is a more complex method of painting with oils. it is also thought of as a more traditional approach. i apply many layers of paint, adjusting the opacity of the layers to create different effects. each painting can take up to a year to complete depending on how many layers of paint are applied.
