WELCOME!
Greetings. I hope you will take the opportunity to look at pictures of my work. Select Galleries on the left. I have a duplicate gallery of 47 Pen and Inks in html format.
What you will see is in a variety of styles, most of them from the Modern period. While artists of the time were tearing out each others throats over philisophical differences in the various styles of work, I actually see no philisophy in the aesthetic surface of the paintings and find the various techniques useful for portrayal of specific subjects. The photographs in the site are a poor representation of the actual work. One of the most limiting factors of showing work on line is a matter of size. It is hard to determine if a painting is very large or very small when you are looking at a space that is 3 inches by 5 inches on your screen. I have tried to remember to put down the dimensions and media of the piece. Just to make things more interesting I have been working on pieces that cannot be captured using photography. While they are intricate to the viewer, the camera might see a green or blue glob. This may be inconvenient to the viewer but it helps relieve you of the burden of copyright enfringement. At the moment giving yourself a username and password doesn't buy you much but, if you want to become a minion, please make yourself an account. This will entitle you to bragging rights, such as they are
