I have been painting most of my life. Landscapes and seascapes are my preferred subjects. I have been lucky to travel a lot... always with camera on hand. While the photos begin the ideas for the paintings, I like to emphasize the rhythms of the darks and the lights in nature in an expressionistic

manner. Acrylics are my preference now.
