Welcome
to my home
on-line. Browse my paintings and some of the projects I have
fun
with. You can see my paintings at Artists' Showplace Gallery,
located at the southwest corner of Coit and Arapaho in north
Dallas/Richardson, Texas.
Evolution of a Painting
Below is a small (quarter sheet) painting I did in a workshop in October; I called it "Seafood." Next to it is the photo reference I used; it's one I took in Maine several years ago.

Quarter
sheet watercolor, "Seafood"
Reference photo, taken in East Boothbay, Maine
I just repainted it, larger and with more impact. This one is called "Fresh Seafood," and is a half-sheet painting.

NEWS
In
November, about 25 painters from Southwestern Watercolor Society
decended on Denison, Texas (50 miles north of Dallas) for a two-day
plein air paint-out. We had great fun and produced more than
50
quality painings. I painted two, both near the old train
station. They shown at the top of my Plein Air page. All of these SWS paintings will be in a show in Denison in March. Stay tuned.
In addition to the gallery paintings shown, I enjoy plein air
painting; click here
to see some of these paintings.
People
often want a
painting of their home, a vacation house or an old family
residence. I do these on a commission basis. Click here

see some samples.
