Richard Lewis

I’m a painter who explores color, light, and line, and combines that with a search to understand our lives.

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. 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 direction.

I work relatively small and hope the viewer come closer to examine my picture, to slow down and look.
