Following are drawing and paintings that I have sold over the past several decades. These images were reproduced from old photographs.
Artist's Statement
From grand scale images to those that are very close up, images surround us. I love those images, and as an artist, I try to share this love with my viewers. From the mundane to the glorious, this World is filled with fascinating sites. Sometimes, a field filled with morning mist will make the viewer pause and breathe more deeply. Other times, an old door can make the viewer wonder who has passed through it, and what were their circumstances. Walking up a flight of steps outdoors, I stop and look to see what has collected in corners of the steps; it is often a collection of items that tells the history of those using the steps. Life never ceases to surprise me; and there is always something for me to say through both my art and math.
