My first time oil painting was in college in 1990.
The one thing I retained from a few Zen classes in college, is to embrace imperfections in the world around you. I enjoy embracing the imperfections of paint and creating.
Each time I make a new painting, my goal is to make a piece of art that the entire planet is in awe of. That is ridiculous, but it’s still the aim for creating something special.
