Artist Statement
I do colorful plein air and studio landscapes and cityscapes inspired by the rich colors of historic buildings set against the blue skies of Texas and sometimes Italy.
My figurative art is done in a classical realism style, sometimes combining my personal interests in one painting, with the interpretation left up to the viewer.
