I have to say that I love Graphite. I like just about every medium out there, the richness of oils, the delicate look of a pastel, and the clarity of a well done water color. People are always asking if I paint in oil. I have and I will again but the starkness and simple lines that graphite gives just pulls me in. Like a black and white photograph when all the color is removed you get something extra and that extra is what I am trying to capture. I am trying a little more color with color pencils I am not sure if I am happy with them yet.

A good Belgian beer shared with friends. A hug from my children. Fishing on a cool day with my family.

New Jersey drivers. Rude people. People that tease me about my spelling. Bad coffee!

Fishing, Drawing, Reading, making wine and beer, Bicycle riding (I own a bicycle shop).

Thank you for visiting my gallery. Your portraits are stunning. Nothing wrong with a little black and white!! I do like how you added that blue to one of Theron's portraits though!

Thank you for your compliment on "Boy on Bicycle."  Your pencil portraits are beautiful and you have a couple of self-portraits that are very nice.  I love your "Rainbow Trout" (I love fish--did you see my "Calico Bass?")--nice job w/ the colored pencils.  Carol

All your work is spectacular, you truly do capture the extra!  I can't stand bad coffee either.

Hi....I was just looking at your Rainbow Trout.  Is that done with prisma color pencil?  Your have created the perfect illusion of a fish underwater.  I love that.

Thanks for the compliment! Your graphite drawings are well-done, very expressive. The children's personalities shine through your work!
