As words are to human thoughts...Paintings are to human visions. In my loose definition of paintings we include also work in pigments, pencil, pastels, excrement, etc.. As long as there is as little influence of mechanical means as possible. We will try to be as objective as possible without the overly subjective judgements of critical thought...which, in general prevents us from seeing what is really there and understanding how the visual can expand our conscience undertanding of the whole.

“Ready to Go” oil on canvas by Ken Davies
All images can bring certain comfort to a viewer…a warm nostalgia floods over them with memories of places and things out of their past or desires for the present. For others the same image can bring up ghosts of their experiences filled with loss, sorrow and pain. Even the most simple of ideas contain complexities that the creator cannot hope to comprehend. All of these things may have nothing to do with the artist’s original intent but they are there…powerful and real.
