Background Notes:
My strongly edited realistic images of the world reflect the emotions and humor of life's interactions.
Strong contrasts and the limited palette of my paintings, draws you in with their brightness and color.
Often with a touch of Edward Hopper, Edward Biberman, Max Ginsburg, Andrew Wyeth, or David Arsenaul; their compelling sense of mood, time, and place describe moments of shared human experience.
You, the viewer, are encouraged to engage your own unique thoughts, dreams, feelings, and experiences to complete the pictures in new and unexpected ways.
These representational scene paintings are styled in the late period of Social Realism, but brought into the 21st Century.
Most of my paintings are derived from photographs, usually taken by myself during tours in Europe and the USA.
Many paintings are created from multiple images, put together to tell a story and provide a pleasing composition. For more information on how I use these processes, see: "On Developing A Painting."
