and that was Me.

- I believe that a passion for narrative and subject is an essential pre-requisite for a successful painting. If the artist feels ambivalent about whatever is captured in a photograph, a sketchbook or on canvas how can they hope to have any impact on those who see the final piece? Without authority the artist will leave his audience frustrated or worse, indifferent. Communicating mood & emotion are my most important motivators for making images. I’ve never been overly concerned with technical perfection or producing an accurate pictorial record of a subject or a location. For me the heart of painting and photography is to capture and communicate an atmosphere and what I’m feeling, as much (if not more) than what I see at the time of painting. If my paintings, sketches and photography speak to the viewer on an emotional level then I have succeeded in my work.

I'm liking this. Was the source imagery captured at www.dragondrop.org/fire per chance he said plugginly?
yes indeedy it was captured first hand. After months of promising to come along - i finally did... we had a good time... please tell me when the next one is Matt... so that the Good Word of FIRE can be spread amongst the 3 people who regularly look at this site....
