Painting is inspiring me to paint. It is my one and only favorite mystery. I follow where it goes and sometimes it is troublesome. Sometimes it is bliss with back pain. It is something I can do which has relevance in and of itself but it is unexplainable. Words interrupt the long conversation. Images are so forgiving. If I can make a painting to be looked at and seen again and again,if I can make a painting that means something at different times and in different places, then I have made some impact in time and space. I use the cross (+) a lot, symbolizing the intersection of time and space, but as with all symbols, it represents many other things as well. This is why I paint.
