"Easel Painting" covers a wide range of media from pencil and pastel drawings to acrylic, oil, and mixed media paintings. Easel paintings tend to be more intimate in scale and therefore more personal than murals and environmental works.

"For a painter in the "modern era" (every era is modern for those living in it!) this is a very challenging and liberating time to be working in. The freedom of expression, and the choice of media and style is literally unlimited. My goal, in the midst of the chaos and confusion of the contemporary art culture is to create beautiful images that are intellectually stimulating, expressively creative, and spiritually honest. I sometimes get close to the mark." -RQ
