About Me

My photo
Durham, NC
After graduating from the University of Mobile in 1985 I started a career as an artist. My life consisted of Easel painting, Murals, Trompe l'oeil and faux finishes. I did this for 18 years until reaching a point of creatively burning out. I painted nothing of substance for almost 7 years. In January of 2010 things happened to open my eyes to the beauty around me and a deep desire to paint again. This blog will be dedicated to my new work. Paintings that are for me and my pleasure and the pleasure of others and not for a pay check. My hope is that this will help to keep the work fresh and of true vision.

"Beyu' Morning"

One early morning in January of 2010 I left the Beyu' Caffe with a steaming cup of coffee in my hand, happy to be downtown in my beautiful city of Durham. I sat the coffee on the roof of my car so I could unlock the car door and happened to turn around and saw this image of Chapel Hill St. reflected in the windows of the Caffe. That image awakened my need to paint that had been dormant for nearly 7 years. In a way this painting represents a rebirth for me. A new vision. For that I will forever be thankful.
