#1693 SUNSET from BLACK BUTTE 36x48 OIL


#1520 ROLAND'S HILLS 30x40 OIL


The very essence of my life itself is drawing, painting, AND working to create compelling and lasting oils and watercolors.

I’ve been doing this all my life, and have been a professional artist for over 50 years, starting with Maxwell Galleries in San Francisco in the ‘60’s.

I paint only images that I believe are beautiful, in the new tradition of contemporary realism.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THE FINE ARTS,
