I am very pleased to have made the cut for a review on Artvetting.com and by Isaac Lyles. Thank you for your time and kind words of insight and encouragement.
2014 started out for me with recovering from an accident… and two new series developed within two days of the hit. I was well into the images (at least 16-some in progress) by the time I realized there might be a connection with the series images and concept, and the accident… I submitted for review to Continue reading

Even though I will agree that art comes from a form of angst… a pretty picture does not mean a lack of the angst… over my lifetime of 64 11/12 years I’ve done the angst the blotchy paint all over and mixed up…like a hurricane came in and stepped all over my work… I sold lots of them. I’ve painted the amazing washes of color from that place inside where the questions need but dont get answers… I sold lots of them.

Umbrella and Eggs!; 22×15; oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink on arches
This is one of my most fav paintings. “Umbrella and Eggs!” was a fun and explorative piece when I made it. I was just beginning to go in this direction again and adding the eggs and their whimsey was new to my thinking. I very much like the way this turned out and was excited Continue reading
