Art is any creation that is appealing and/or thought provoking, while fine art requires mastered skills, techniques, and a creative mind to produce work that is aesthetically pleasing to a viewer.

The paintings shown on this site are the result of a lifetime of honing my skills. From an early age my strength has been the ability to accurately draw, and my subjects have been primarily people.  In recent years I have discovered the joy and excitement of "plein air", that is painting landscapes on location, which given the limited time one has to capture the light, has and continues to loosen my style. I select subjects that move me in some way and challenge my skills, because mastering all aspects of fine art painting is an ongoing learning process.   

Thank you for visiting my site.
