Each and every painting by Luke Avery has a story, yet his entire gallery of work has a common bond. " To me they move as I move while painting." Constantly thinking, trying, struggling, to capture this movement. "What can I do to continue?" I was out to dinner with friends when one said ," Look at that dress!" This person moved through the crowd with grace. The dress was beautiful. It had movement! I could feel the hair stand on the back of my neck. This was it, a way to capture art in motion.
