I'd like to write about the Audition paintings today.  These are meant to be fairy tale dresses and designer gowns that I try to make as pretty as possible.  I love the fact that everyone can and often does bring a story to these paintings.  Often I'm told of what these paintings mean to the people who own them and I enjoy hearing them very much.  I look at lots of my wife's discarded fashion catalogs and then I try to compose the perfect dress.  Negative shapes are really important and the dresses themselves have a sculptural element to them.  My goal is for them to be elegant, sophisticated, and of course, pretty.
