In my painting, rejected areas of painted surface, some of them beautiful, lie under every visible surface. Things that were once the point remain as shadow or texture. Everything good in my life is about reworking a not-quite-good-enough past. Doing things right the first time is not my way. I prefer repair. A mountain I once saw, by contrast, is right all the time. Naturally I am drawn to it.
