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.

"Forgotten"


"Forgotten"

Acrylic on board

It seems that a couple on my coastal images have disappeared from my blog.  I'm not sure why.  The boat is still at Alligator Creek near the coast.  However it is no longer in the good of shape. Pity.

Frostbite Regatta 5 "Paradise Reach"

The feeling I get when I look at a sail boat is that the thing is alive! The movement on the water and the wind in the sails constantly create a moving living sculpture.  No two moments are ever the same and the transient images leave me with a touch of anxiety for the next one.  It’s art in motion.
