“On these days my first thoughts are not about what my work is involved with in a general sense. I am visualizing a light day with a strong diagonal shadow cast from a church with marble walls. In that shadow a young man is walking briskly from the left toward a point where he will disappear around the corner of the marble wall. There is a canal of water coming from the right side and some steps (may be four of them) leading into the canal."

"On second thought, I remember a moment in old Berlin which produced one painting. Another moment in New Mexico produced a painting. These current paintings come from moments in Venice."

"Such moments have an aura that participates in my own inner aura. I recognize something that feels eternal, timeless, a saturated atmosphere in a world of constant motion."

"My inspiration for paintings comes from this mysterious exchange or dialogue with place and self. Beyond this, I am devoted to a belief that painting as an art form, celebrates our realization of the picture as an object with a beauty that is not just decorative and not illustration of only a memory in reality. There is some kinship in the twenty five years of my Venetian inspiration with works by Carpaccio, Canaletto, Guardi, J.M.W. Turner and Monet."
