Artist Statement
I love the challenges of the changing light, atmosphere, and reflections that only nature can provide. These challenges can be overcome quickly when using the iPad. I usually start a picture with a detailed pencil drawing and then transfer it onto the iPad. I flesh it out with colour to completion. It is said that you can only paint well, if you can draw well.
