Still Life Most of my still life paintings are compositions that I set up on my kitchen counter. I love the reflections that I get from the items sitting on the black granite
Landscape These landscape paintings are done in my studio working from my own photos. I prefer painting landscapes that show the beauty of nature untouched by man.
Plein Air Plein air paintings, both landscape and still life, are paintings that are done outside under natural light.

Truck Series These 1935 (approximate) International Harvesters are parked along highway 41 between Atascadero and Moro Bay, California. After painting "The Old Gentlemen's Club" I decided to paint portraits of the members of the club. The members' names are names that were popular for men in 1935.
