He once said, "I have since childhood felt a longing for the ocean and shore which is positively mystical. Since the mid-70's, I made many trips yearly to paint the California coastline or particularly the area around the Monterey peninsula, where 'Carmel Coast' was painted one misty, mysterious day in November. Every painting I do of the sea is different because the moods of the sea and sky are never the same."
