Beyond the surface
Paintings

I find that the challenge in painting
comes when the painter sees something beyond the surface of the
subject matter. The
successful execution of techniques in a painting is only a matter
of practice. The real challenge is to bring out what is beyond
the surface, whether it is the feeling or the character. Once
it is discovered and unearthed from the depth of the surface,
then the painting is complete.
The same theory applies to the viewer. Some see
the surface and others see the depth. That is when the love for
a piece of art
begins.
