About The Artist

My photo
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Hello! I am a fine arts painter, with a BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My primary painting medium is oil and alkyd, and mostly I work in a representational style. My greatest challenge as a painter is to capture the effect of light; and my greatest joy as a painter is to accomplish that. Many thanks to those readers who have been following this blog since Day 1 (May 19, 2008). To those who are visiting for the first time today...Welcome, and thanks for dropping by!

A Gift to Love...



I just received this gift from my sister in the mail yesterday...a book of haiku with lovely Japanese prints. My favorite kind of book: mostly pictures and not too much text. Thank you, Dear Sister!

"Coming Spring" Kimono

"Coming Spring Kimono", 2018, mixed media on rice paper, 14"x11" framed.

My first new artwork of 2018 is dedicated to all those folks in places with icy cold, snow, and wintry weather. Keep warm! Take heart! Spring will come.

Took this artwork back to the studio and re-did the coloring and patterning. I like this version better.

Happy New Year...and back to work



Returned home from picking up my unsold artwork from Spiva Center for the Arts in Joplin, which ended December 16 (I was pleased to have sold 10 pieces during the exhibit.); and hung it up in my studio. I cleaned and set up my studio for the New Year, and it felt great to be ready to get back to work.

Happy New Year! And thank you for your readership.
