About These Articles
I wrote my first article for THE ARTIST'S MAGAZINE in 1984 following the publication of my second book, CATCHING LIGHT IN YOUR PAINTINGS. It's been a privilege being on the Artist's Magazine masthead as a contributing editor.
Covering topics ranging from how Sorolla captured light to why Fairfield Porter disregards detail to 21 ways to mix green has been both a literary adventure and a re-investigation into my own approach to painting. My aim has always been to dispense information in a clear, concise manner and I will continue posting various articles as they come out.
Thank you for all the feedback through out the past 18 years. I hope to continue maintaining the high standards of good writing to report on the risky, reckless, ongoing adventures of picture painting.
