“I never know what to write about my creative efforts. Should I comment on the years of research, struggle and breakthrough to attain the visual impact I am after? Maybe the layered complexities of color and design required to present a creation that is uniquely mine? The concentration of effort that goes into working in a media that is difficult and demanding, compelling and capable of such a wide range of visual impact! Or my delight and sense of accomplishment when after weeks or months an idea is finally attained as a completed image? Hopefully the range of working with realism, surrealism, expressionism, fantasy and impressionism to leave the viewer in wonderment, wanting to look again and again.

Am I being too idealistic? Will I live long enough to create the perfect picture, or in fact is there even such a thing?

I think all I can do is stumble on, striving ever hopeful.” Dean States
