Every painting should have a fine balance of emotion, composition, contrast, color, and texture. Technique and skill to achieve this balance takes time and patience. I’ll walk around my paintings, take pictures of them and see what they look like in black and white, squint my eyes to see the real colors, and my most favorite idea I share is toilet paper… Always have a clean brush when using oils…

My last step is determining if I can live with it. The walls in my house are constantly changing with various scenes. When a painting meets all these requirements, I’ll show them here.
