Realism is notduplication; it is a process that involves intense study and understanding of asubject, a strong sense of value and color, and the mastery of a given medium.Within this realism, I experiment with color by making choices that might notbe expected for use in rendering certain subjects. In this way I keep thingsfresh and interesting both for the viewer and myself.”
