Mildlife

One thing I've learned over the years is that, for the sake of honesty in my art, I should paint from what I have lived.  Animals are what I know, and so they have become the focal point in most of my paintings.  There are plenty of wildlife artists out there, but my experience with animals has been of those tamed by humans and once tamed, dependent on them.

I call it "Mildlife. There is a beauty that radiates from a painting when it strikes an element of truth, and that beauty is what I am after.
