“Finding fresh inspiration has never been a problem for me, because I don’t dissipate energy in competitiveness or seeking approval. It's an ongoing quest to perfect what I love most, painting, and of course the wife and cat. I believe this is why I have a good collector base. I work hard at making my technique, color, and feeling seem simple by focusing on the important parts of the painting," says Carr.
