Why the yellow bald nudes?

This is a question that I get asked a lot. So I thought I'd answer it here.

I'm not sure where the colors come from... its compulsive, something I have to do like a calling and it hasn't gone away...in years. I accepted that fact a long time ago and so now I just set up the easel and get out the paints and allow the process to guide me to deeper understanding of myself.

I believe the bald nudes solidly reflect my inner self, or if you can better appreciate the soul symbolically. The paintings are about what is going on inside of me and I trust a lot of intuition to do its work while I'm in the passion of painting. I find that it is very cathartic and there are times I just must paint or become unbearable for those around me.

I guess you could say it serves my therapy and a way for coping with all that life throws I me and when you are looking at my pieces you are viewing my psyche. But of course, remember your reaction and interpretation is steadily reflects your own psyche in effect artist and viewer become aware of one another on some profound level.

So, I invite you dear friend sit back and enjoy the ride and welcome to the world as I see it. :)
