"I paint almost exclusively in oils. Surfaces I use include hardboard, canvas, and linen mounted on hardboard. My style is traditional and representational, however my landscapes often offer a contemporary view of the land. Rich color and bold brush strokes are important to me. Techniques with the pallet knife give my paintings an interesting, signature texture which brings life and character to the painting." M W
