Touching the Canvas
I have chosen the first painting that will begin my series. I have my resource material on hand and have thought about the arrangement of my composition. I have gone to my computer to lay out the composition in photoshop but I have also used my real time elements and laid them on to the canvas before drawing any lines.

Sourcing for the idea
One question that I am often asked is that of where my ideas originate.

The magic of the images slowly appearing on the paper immersed in liquid caught my imagination. And the many faces of people that I had never met, now in my control as i washed them in the developer, made it a study of features and emotion. It was an early course I didn’t recognize I had taken until art school.
