I was hooked on Impressionist and post Impressionist painters by the age of fifteen. The constant motion of the ocean, ever changing colors in the sky, intriguing shapes the clouds form and the still grandeur of the mountains are both an inspiration and challenge for me. Most of my pastels are done at my alternate office-nature. I select my favorite pastels and use them as templates for my acrylic paintings.
I hope these paintings take you to places you have been or want to go. Relax and listen closely for the sounds of the waves in my oceanscapes. But; be careful, if you look close enough at my mountainscape a bear just might sneak up on you.
