oil painting of a woman for sale\n\nI wanted her eyes to begin a dialogue with the viewer in ‘If Eyes Were Words’. I used a fan brush to blend skin tone more than I usually do, to make the work look softer.

The use of light adds a romantic, nostalgic quality to the work.

Sometimes it takes a while to 'find' an image. Most people think an artist creates an image, but I believe that the image already exists for one specific painting and is just waiting for the artist to uncover it.
