Influences

Sail Away

Renoir was always my favorite painter, he was called the painter of joy!

On the consideration of my own paintings and much under his spiritual influence I would like my versions to soak up and record each impression as if the brush strokes were still liquid and not dry upon the surface of the watercolor paper.

On days when people need joy, I hope these impressions will play back either in their memories or from their walls with the pulse and rhythm of a sail boat on the horizon, bringing ripples of comfort and peace to their souls...

Much like Renoir, I want my art to sing and dance and bring light to every nook in peoples hearts, to invite them in to sit down and enjoy...
