People
going about their life are always fascinating. My paintings
are interesting men, women, and children I have seen, but usually
did not get to know. From hundreds of digital photos taken as
I travel, an occasional image is brought to my laptop for painting
directly from the screen - usually as part of a crowd scene,
group, or portrait. I try to captures peoples' feelings and
interactions with subtlety and humor, often tied into an underlying
back story. Using a few lightfast pigments, my paintings are
prized for their compelling colors and strong composition.
