I have always been interested in Art, whether drawing or painting and in particular viewing and enjoying art, often visiting museums and art exhibits in my area. Alas, none of my earliest drawings survive (late nineteen fifties and early nineteen sixties); however a couple of pen and ink sketches produced in college Art class in 1966 grace the walls of my home today. I paint primarily in oils, acrylic with water color used for studies for my paintings. I have produced Art my entire adult life, although at times rather sparely-approaching retirement I decided to get serious about Art. I do not have a predominant or particular style except that I try to capture the sense, substance and my ideas about a scene or subject.
