I am often asked now, “how are you going to move from such a structured and linear profession to that of more free expression?” While not easy to keep from placing the hard and straight lines of architecture to the more painterly approach of creating fine art, I am working through it with much discipline. I am also seeking instruction from the artists I respect and am taking workshops to learn more.

Additionally, I have a large library of great books on the works of present and past revered artists. I have admired these professionals and collected the writings for years and can now devote the effort into applying what I am continually learning to the canvas. Whether studying the theories of Edgar Payne on the structure of a painting or the soft painted edges and painterly approach of Bob Rohm’s techniques of applying his vision to the canvas, these seem to contradict the linear discipline of architecture. An exciting learning experience, but achievable. The goal of my new career is really very simple, the telling of a simple story, the creation of an emotional experience to the story presented, and to create good work for my clients of lasting value.

Until next time, have fun and enjoy the journey-
May God Bless-
