Look, look, look...
It used to be the first written words we learned: "Look, Dick, look." See, Jane, see."

Do you ever look behind you...above you, below you, to your left or right? How many breath-taking sunsets have you missed because you were driving east in the evening, or you were too busy thinking about work to see the moon setting in the morning? Have you ever wished you had your camera with you to capture that moment, or—and this is the big one—never appreciated a view until a building went up in front of it, or a bulldozer plowed it under? With canvas and paint I try to capture those moments, those views, before they disappear.

Whenever possible I paint en plein air, usually with a paint knife and water-based oils. Occasionally, I may use a brush, or acrylics. When you look at my paintings, realize that some of them represent views that have already changed, and not for the better. Tick, tock, tick, tock…

My works can be seen at Crossroads Art Center, Frame of Mind, and the Visual Art Studio in Richmond, Virginia, as well as Gallery 606 in Ashland, Virginia.
