Artist Statement
Although I have always loved to travel and the photographs resulting from these adventures I never thought to try painting until I was in my forties. You can teach an old dog new tricks! I paint landscapes, portraits of people and animals. I usually paint from photographs in the Old Masters Style using monochromatic colors to establish my values prior to tackling the main picture. I have the belief that we all" need a reason to get up in the morning." What vision will I wake up to tomorrow that will inspire me to pick up my paintbrush?
Biography
No formal art training. I have been extremely grateful for the following artists who have guided and encouraged me over the years: Frank Haddock, Laura Watmough, Gene Prokop, Zhaoming Wu and Ann Waeland.
