Cityscapes in The City Series

Overview of the City

My paintings are essentially realism filtered through a vision. I paint a version of what I see, using sketches, memory and photographs as reference points.

The poetry of the physical world is endlessly fascinating to me; and the process of painting it is even more so.

The medium I use at any given time influences it; the mood of the moment influences it.

I hope in the end the work speaks for itself.
