What genre does this fit into? Fauvist, Impressionist, Expressionist??
Maybe I need to become more educated on these classifications but it doesn’t interest me too much. I’ll just create it and let someone else classify it. I believe I have an overall style … my work is recognizable as mine … but I employ a few sub styles.
I guess it’s like fine wine. My knowledge of wine goes beyond red and white, but not too far beyond. In the end it’s what you like; what communicates to you. There seems to be no end to the number of adjectives you can hang on a wine. … I suppose the same is true with art. What pigeonhole do you think my work roosts in?

Getting back to my minimalist roots now and again … simple lines and forms can promote two way communication between myself and the viewer. I present my thought, intention and emotion and unique experiences are triggered in my audience. Sadly, i don’t often get to hear about the experiences that have been triggered. When you see this piece, do you have anything to say back to me? Let me know.

Continuing to try different emotional tones to see which communicates the best … conclusion? It depends on the emotional tone of the audience, as one would expect, although I believe that higher toned people have a wider range of appreciation for lower toned images than lower toned people have for higher toned images.
