Not For Sale
This is a portrait of my mother, in her leather jacket, sort of enjoying her time at the beach. to me, her face speaks volumes. It's a winter's day so the light is harsh. It's hard to paint one's parents. An edgy experience. I've made my mother's face slightly larger than life-size to increase the tension.

"I paint to get at the essence of my subject, to understand its mystery. I want to create the feeling one has, when light suddenly hits a surface and there is a moment of illumination. I wish to engage the viewer in this sense of mystery, these apparitions of light."
