| ABOUT ME |
Gee, I'm drawing a blank! Just like when I start a painting or drawing. Took an art class in 8th grade, enjoyed it, but sports and girls took over. Did not pick up a pencil again until I retired in 2004. Am essentially self-taught, although I have taken a few workshops here and there...David Taylor, Roberta Carter Clark, Mary Whyte....all watercolorists. Never tried oil or pastel, but maybe some day. Love to paint outdoors, but I suck at it. Most of my friends are artists and I enjoy being around them and attending exhibits etc. My wife is even more critical than I am, but she is always right, especially when it comes to my portrait work. If something is out of whack, she will see it. Love to ride my motorcycle to places to paint or photograph...a great sense of freedom, although I have to whack a few bugs every now and then. Hope to have a one-man show in 2009. Anyone who reads this has my utmost respect....you are an artist no matter what and I know you are always trying your best to get better. |
| THINGS I LIKE |
baloney sandwiches and hotdogs, my artist friends, eary morning when the sun rises, Dunkin Donuts coffee, a perfect brushstroke, en plein air painting, my family, quiet time, motorcycling, the challenge of making a good painting, wide open spaces, cruising, giving away paintings to friends (no money in that, but what the hey!). Favorite artists are Charles Reid, Mel Stabin, Vermeer, David Taylor. |
