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.

"Flurries"


We had a bit of snow this winter. One morning in February, in the midst of snow flurries, I was on my way into town headed south on Mangum St. As I crossed the Downtown Loop I happened to look up and saw the Spire of the Trinity United Methodist Church. Snow was caught in the cracks of the spire. I was totally captivated by the sky, the movement the mass the power. In this painting I strive to capture that emotion of nature as this piece of metal and stone stand as a monument.
