“One not only needs to capture the feeling of the subject, but also the essence of light and color as it bounces, reflects, and scatters. Painting is truly seeing more intensely than you can possibly hope to see. Painting is a life-long pursuit, one that requires always honing and learning new skills in order to build a vocabulary that just doesn’t reproduce reality, but provides new ways to look at it.”
