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.

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 to see some samples.

Organizations: I'm an active member and past president of Southwestern Watercolor Society and am active in the Richardson Civic Art Association. I am an owner (one of 17) of Artists' Showplace Workshop and Gallery.
