My paintings are done using a traditional oil technique.
I strive for accuracy in both the behavior and appearance
of my wildlife subjects and don't paint an animal that I
haven't seen myself, preferably in its natural habitat. I am always
interested in the design possibilities of animals, plants and landscapes,
and often use that as a starting point. Fieldwork is
essential for sketching, photographing and observing my
subjects, so my cameras, sketchbook and pens, binoculars
and spotting scope travel with me. I use a combination of
what I've seen, drawn & photographed when I put
together a painting, along with my memories and feelings
about the place.
