“I’ve always been fascinated by colors,” he says. “The first time I really remember apply- ing my fascination was when I started school and the teacher gave us crayons and a coloring book. I was so fascinated by the colors and the pictures that I col- ored every page. I didn’t have another coloring book, so I drew pictures to color and took my book to the teacher,” he recalls. Gordon says in order to paint
a picture, he has to first see it in his mind. “I keep adding colors and details until it looks good to me. If it’s not right to me, it won’t be right to anyone else,” he says. “I have never done galleries, and I rarely do commissioned paintings—I paint pictures that I like, and if I do them right, other people will like them, too.”
