Richard Lewis

I’m a painter who explores the endless possibilities of color, light, and line, and combines that with a search to understand people.

While I usually have something in mind when I begin, I expect that once the painting comes alive, it will have ideas of its own – about style and meaning. From then on, my job is to help it along and try not to get in its way. Each brushstroke, each touch of color, each element, either interferes or enhances the picture’s wishes.

I work relatively small and hope the viewer will want to come closer to examine my picture. I hope it provides a chance for you to slow down, look, and reflect.
