I have been an Artist my whole life. While I was working at non-art things I carried a
drawing kit with me and for 2 decades my art was pen and ink, watercolor or colored
pencil. Most of the time I did plant studies, but also drawing what was outside of my
window or interesting places I found myself in. I also studied Chinese calligraphy and
Japanese one stroke painting. In 2010, I began painting full-time with oils. Plein Aire is
my preferred painting method, then doing studio work. Then, create larger paintings
from the Plein Aire of the previous year. Painting light reflections captivates me, so I am
always looking at water watching the way sky and shadow interplay with reeds, trees
and shorelines. Some people have noticed that I also enjoy painting an interesting tree
now and then.
