Thank you for visiting my site! I hope you find enjoyment in the paintings on display. I mostly paint oil on canvas 4" x 6" en plein air scenes as studies using a small portable guerilla painter's box. I mostly enjoy the challenge of painiting genre scenes inside of restaurants and coffee shops. As you stroll through my site you will also see scenes from Australia, Bahamas and Hawaii.
I recently began studying pastel painting to learn to be bolder and more direct in my technique. With the masterful training from Marilyn Grame, I met my goals with the two pieces in the Pastel Society show; they were painted quickly and boldly as studies to learn pastel methods and prepare for a large sunset painting I was intimidated in starting. I recommend using pastels to break free whenever you feel stuck with artist's block.
I also like to teach painting basics to beginners, especially those who didn't think they could draw even a stick figure. It gives me great joy to see one who realizes he or she can actually create great scenes with such simple methods and find belief in the endless possibilites for their newly found gift. The basic ingrediant to learning to paint is passion!
