I invite the viewer to join in my interpretation of our world. I use the rich,
variable colors of oil paint to capture my feelings and the presence of my subject.
When the wonders of life and it's amazing variety synchronize to provide a lasting memory I simply try to share it through my art and to my pleasant surprise in many cases I manage to pass it forward.
Water has always been a favorite subject matter for me. It's transparent nature always provide challenges in trying to paint it. Crashing waves with sunburned beachcombers and the cool waters of a mountain stream call me to try to represent them in a 2 dimensional manner that others will enjoy and remember. Thank you for visiting my site. If you have an interest in my work you can contact me by email or telephone.
