When I am painting, I like to use a variety of implements and tools including knives, cardboard, rags, housepainters brushes, and, occasionally, my fingers. I really enjoy the process of painting and the serendipity of wet on wet techniques. Though I may start with a fairly accurate representational drawing, I soon digress. It's rather like stepping off a known path in to an unknown space... This is the place where you bring together the known and the imagined, memory and invention, and where Painting becomes Art. For me, painting is an expression of personality and identity - moving paint around a canvas is this expression. The subject is something to hang a painting on. The painting itself determines when it is finished.
