Sharing the joy of creating art is what this site is all about. It's one thing to capture a scene with exact duplication, but it is quite another to capture the scene with one's personal impression well expressed. Sharing experience is the essence of art.

 | | There is such joy in the awsome beauty and grand wonder of God's vast creation that it invokes one's heart to not only seek the source of that joy, but to also share. One soon realizes that it is the people with whom you share the Creator's beauty and wonder that lead you to the source of the joy.
I like to teach painting lessons to new beginners to invoke a passion in them for pursuing their hidden gifts; one Saturday per month in the open air areas around San Diego. |

| My love of colorful landscapes developed from my childhood years of watching brilliant and vivid weather-scapes in and around the enchanting deserts of Albuquerque, New Mexico during the 50’s and 60’s.
My deeply seeded love of painting took root and grew from my training at Studio 2 Art Gallery in La Mesa, California, under the famed pastelist and animal artist, Marilyn Grame ( www.zhibit.org/mgrame ), and later became my beloved mother-in-law.
I was able to paint extensively in the 70’s while in the Army in Germany. Since I was on shift duty status I was able to get away during the daytime to study the finer points of detailed watercolor craftsmanship under a famed watercolorist, Herr Herschfeld near Wiesbaden, Germany. During the 1990's I studied under Lela Harty in San Diego where I pursued the ability to paint expressively and quickly thus fulfilling a deep desire to paint in the out doors.
Thanks must be given to my lovely wife Dana who has pressed on during the journey of our life all these... |
