WILLIAM JACKSON FRABLE, M.D. |
I have enjoyed drawing and painting since taking an art course with an
inspiring instructor during high school years. In my practice as a
surgical and cytopathologist I deal with images on microscopic slides and
their interpretation. I believe this carries over to creating art, which
is a much more complex process. I find painting and drawing both
the landscape and still life challenging, blending good composition, design
and atmospheric effects. The creative process remains forever elusive,
which of course, is the fascination of art and our individual perception of
it. Even in this age of the computer we are all wired a little
differently.
