Serious painting is not just a hobby, recreation, therapy, or something to do on the weekends. It is an intense creative work, ... Painting is a visual language and when I intend to say something worthwhile, or to articulate a point, I must be ready to produce it. I paint daily...

I am inspired to create something that is eternal. 
— Rhett E. Murray

The future is an exciting place; it holds many paths and opportunities ... I will make the best of that tomorrow. As an artist I will continue the experiences of the metamorphic process. I know that painting never gets easy, every piece will not be a masterpiece, and many will have problems to solve. I know that a masterpiece is demanding and becaue of my vigilance, I will improve my results and increase my skill.
