My paintings reveal my impressions of and my feelings about the subject. Literal replication must be subordinate to communication. Sentiment and mood should prevail in a successful painting. After extensive observation and study, I often paint from memory, but that memory is refined by the feelings the subject has generated. Abstraction seems to be the child of this process and draws from the subject those less obvious qualities which enable the observer to see features often overlooked. Once I conceive the design of a painting, I strive to share my impression through the integration of traditional Chinese brush work and contemporary techniques.
