Nature has become my muse where colors and texture play a major part in my work.
I love what Rembrandt said, "Choose only one master – Nature."

It was a nice sunny day painting by the river with other painters. I found this shady patch with trees and shrubs. I call this alla prima style (painting all at once). It was spontaneous, fast! It felt good and I had a good time painting that day!
