Fire: Artist Statement
I read a lot about art, paintings, and artists. I can’t tell you how many times I run across the term “fiery colors“. The term is overused and typically refers to paintings containing a lot of red.
Yet I can think of no other label for this body of work which betters suits it.
These paintings are fire.
One way or another, each of them contains one of earth’s most basic ingredients.
Whether with color, flame, movement, or spirit, it seems much of my artwork finds it way to fire before it is finished.
As with my other paintings, I try to simply accept this for what it is and not over-think it.

You have a touch for composition and color balance. Sometimes I wish i could be loose like that but then my anal personality pops up and I get realistic and tight. Getting looser though. Did the great fire here in the Swamp motivate you? Good to see you on facebook. Will be working with Michaels stores in a few weeks and it may be something for you to think about. Roland 8blr?
