We react emotionally to color, and those reactions are so intermingled with our visceral feelings, color virtually is emotion. Different colors elicit different feelings based on cultural significance and personal experience. Color has spiritual power; it’s beauty can heal and inspire the human spirit. “Mere color, unspoiled by meaning, and unallied with definite form, can speak to the soul in a thousand different ways.” - Oscar Wilde M E T H O D When I was a younger artist, I thought painting fruit and vegetables was boring. Now, I understand this subject matter isn't so much about ideas as it is about C O L O R. I set up this composition right in front of me and painted “Cherry Bomb” from life. An artist experiences their subject more painting this way, and the results often have a vitality that paintings developed from photographs lack. M A T E R I A L S I reproduce my artwork with archival inks on 16 mil, smooth white cotton, archival paper. If protected from direct sunlight and moisture, my prints will give you 75 years or more of pleasure. The simple white mat is archival grade acid-free. S H I P P I N G I ship my prints wrapped in an acid-free, plastic sleeve and protected in a rigid mailer via USPS.
