He comments, "Each painting has to develop within itself."
 "To make something two-dimensional and have the viewer perceive the pieces as if they are three-dimensional is essential. The viewer needs to travel through the painting, so to speak. That is to say that, a feeling is accomplished in making canvas or panel look as though it is three-dimensional. Atmosphere is the key; the painting has to have atmosphere within. It is as if air flows around the objects."
 "I learn with every piece I do. I strive to build on what I've learned and hope to always paint the next piece better."
