"The muddy moods of oil paints are the painter's muddy humors, and its brilliant transformations are the painter's unexpected discoveries."

There is an instinct for realism, a powerful drive to reproduce oneself. The fascination of photorealistic paintings lies partly in their apparent replication of life, but these are not merely replications. These paintings are often out of life scale, varying from over life-size to under life-size, from brilliant, heightened color to pale, undertone hues.
