Crab Apples
(30" x 20", oil on canvas)

Today I have chosen to show a detail, as well as the full size piece, to illustrate how I use paint to translate what I see. This close-up passage of shadow and reflection is my interpretation of reality, and is my way of offering the viewer a little more to look at than what is actually there. I try not to be a slave to what is in front of my eyes, preferring to use reality as a departure point.
