Oil Paintings
View this Collection . . .

My oils are a collection of what I am feeling at any point in time. I can not always get out on location. Still lifes and florals are always available. A walk down the street for a coffee break with a sketch book can provide any amount of information for the next image. I am always facinated that artist can take a two dimentional surface and create a space to travel into. I like to move into my paintings. It can be a local landscape or can I reach in and touch a few pears?


 
Intaglio Etchings
View this Collection . . .

These Etchings are done in a manner that has not changed in hundreds of years. The image is created on copper or zinc plate. The image is drawn and chemically etched, I have always loved drawing, and these hand pulled prints have allowed me to see my drawings go on in an edition. I mix my own inks, sepia brown, or blue black depending on the paper I am using. They are inked by hand and placed on a press bed, I then place 100% cotton paper over the plate, cover it with the press blankets, and start rolling my press. The paper is then hand pulled, and the paper is then placed on a drying rack. They can never be inked exactly the same way, every one is an ORIGINAL. They are hand signed begining with A/P (artist proof), the title and my signature. Some are hand colored, again making everyone differant. They are archaival, matted and framed with an explanation of the process and my bio on the back. 


 
Wall Murals

Spring has sprung, and it time to paint outside BIG. The murals vary as much as the buildings that want them. Also in this collection are some that are inside in private homes.
