In a Single Breath

I am an abstract painter in the sense that I abstract realism.
My initial inspiration is based in reality -
walks on the beach, beautiful meals, books, movies and inspirational words.
I endeavour to capture the essence of what I see or what I feel
After hours or sometimes days of work
Heaven and earth explode
Essence
Beings of light
Beings of love
Of joyous rapture
Eternity encapsulated
in a single breath.

Art is Not a 3 Letter Word

"Art, a simple word for some a beautiful word for me -
It lets me write what cannot be written,
To see what cannot be photographed,
To express my thoughts where words fail
It provides shelter for my life
Shelter from the storm."
