I never really copy photos I use an image like a reminder to interpret from

It is still my favorite method of paintjng large loose fast and expressive. The past 5 years in particular I have moved back into a realist yet painterly approach . I do not show work anymore. The valuing of work has tanked and I just paint for my self as the work gets framed and stored
