In the last while my work has been shaped by commissions; clients looking to capture the life energy and presence of their animal companions in a picture. In these works I strive to bridge that character and presence, to bring life into the forms I create. As I have been working on these, I find time slips into timeliness….minutes slip into hours….and I have become caught up in the energy of these beautiful subjects. Looking back I find that my effort has been to breathe life into my subjects, be they whimsical florals, cheeky chickadees or simply the waves of fronds of grass on the prairies. With subjects full of life, I look to bridge their energy and presence into that of the beholder. To share my sense of wonderment of all that is life….
