To me painting just feels right, I know I'm in the right place. It's a connection deep within, and rather difficult to put into words. Possibly words aren't sufficent enough to describe my experience with painting, or my love for it.

I'm in competition with no one but myself when I paint. I challenge myself to improve, to try new ideas and concepts. The work of other artists past and present provide me with the fuel and inspiration to keep moving forward.

The goals that I have set for myself are quite difficult to accomplish and hard to achieve, but thats what I like about painting portraits and creating fine art. It's the difficulty, the hard that makes it good and worthwhile. If it was easy I would probably put down my brushes and quit.

To be able to work at something you love and get paid for your service is a blessing. The icing on the cake is when a client is totaly satisfied with the finished portrait, and you have given them something of value and signifigance.
