I did not have a specific idea of the outcome of these works; only the colors were predetermined.  Instead, I feed off of the energy I create in my environment and the energy of the paint at that particular moment in time.  Meticulously, I throw the paint on to the canvass or water sculpture feeding off of its sleek lines that are left with the swoop of my hand.  Never looking back at any line as a mistake; only embracing the random chaos and beauty that is being created before my eyes. 

Nor do I take all of the credit for my works although I work alone.  I FEEL THAT THE PAINT HAS A LIFE OF ITS OWN WHEN APPLIED IN THESE MANNERS.  Purposely, I apply the paint heavy or light, giving the painting depth and texture, and the paint will mix right on the canvas to create its own beauty, a beauty that man cannot create unless he is willing to let go of his restraints and let his guard down to allow the paint to speak to him. 

The true beauty of these works can only be appreciated in person.  The detail of thousands of tiny droplets of paint randomly scattered across the canvas overlayered and underlayered counless times create a look and feel that I CAN TRULY CALL MY OWN.  I am extremely proud of these works that incorporate these techniques, techniques that will continue to evolve just like I, ‘till I can no longer lift my arms into the air and give life to the stagnant paints that wait patiently for me in their cans.

No brush strokes ever, so no two paintings will ever be alike.
