"............. I am prepared for a long process.......…. It takes time…… a bit of knowledge and understanding …….and a bit of patience........there’s no defining technique............sometimes I start with a wash….. sometimes not.....it just depends on what I see and want to translate for the viewer to see..............I have to have faith in knowing that I can move through the stages to achieve the final result. I’m thinking from the bottom up……..not top down.......t’s not a quick process this painting what I see……not what I think I see......"
