You
may have noticed that I love the color red, the energy, the vibrancy,
the fire. And so on. I painted this Indian Paintbrush a few years back
and was recently contacted by some folks in California interested in
purchasing it. I enthusiastically agreed, of course! It is going to a
good home and I am so happy!
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.

"Hot Hot Hot", original matted watercolor painting
We were in northern California recently, specifically Sonoma. What a sweet town, you should visit it, really! I slid into the alley off the main square and returned to see the bouganvillea I saw a few years back. Still blooming away, still impossible to paint, but easy to photograph. So, my approach here is catch the color.....that's what it's all about, isn't it? "Life is short, use color!" is my motto. What's yours?
