Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say? My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

Last Rays (pastel)
It has finally cooled down here a bit. I think it's supposed to hit the mid-80's, which is utterly delightful. I'm looking forward to the day.
Funny how heat takes such a toll on one. When it's as hot as it has been, up to 100 degrees lately, I don't even want to go out and see the sunset. Now, that's weird! Tonight, I bet I see something like "Last Rays". I painted this artwork a few years back in pastel and have always enjoyed it. Just the slightest peep of the sun dipping behind the mountains....the very last of the day.
