I really believe that Mother-Nature is the best teacher, especially when it comes down to plein air. Just observe, look, listen, smell and create your interpretation of the subject, or the light, or the moment in time. Don't just try to copy, you will lose. God's creation is always the best! Enjoy listening to the bird's, river's, ocean's, and wind's singing. But! create your own music, your song. So it is what I am trying to do in my works lately. To achieve my goals in a particular work I would paint sometimes "wet on wet," colored or textured canvases. Landscapes, still life's, portraits, figures, I prefer to work from nature! More likely my style is impressionistic realism and lately I try to show more expression in my works. I follow my mood when choosing the motive. Something should "grab me" and talk to my soul before I will start to paint. I love the color and believe that it has very strong emotional influence on us, and people have still not discovered completely how we are affected by it. To be very selective and to reach more expressiveness is my goal in my works at the present moment.
