The landscape painting is an artist representation of Mother
Nature. For the artist, the creativity of painting is
enchanting. A broad color pallet is combined with brush
strokes to produce visions of natural beauty. |

I have been drawing ever since I was
very young. I have tried to express beauty of the mountains, sky, water, vegetation, trees, and rocks. Two birds can be found in every piece of work, they represent
the freedom and companionship evident all around us. I have been truly blessed to express this artistic ability. My background
is in photography. I was 60 years old in July of 2008. |

I
would like to give special credit to some very inspirational books. John F. Carlson’s enlightening book “Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting”, original published
in 1929. It covered valuable subjects including an explanation of the four light plains. My color mixing abilities were given a
boost from “Blue and Yellow Don’t Make Green” by Michael Wilcox - I still find many colors by referring to my color mixing
exercises.
Another very inspirational book by landscape artist James
Swinnerton (1875-1974) makes me want to roam around the
southwest looking for great vistas. |

A special thanks to my Pasadena Art Center graduate friends Kwali and Jim, their advice has been priceless.
More thanks to Nurse Kim, all of her constructive advice helped to save my life. Thanks to my dear old friend Régent who initially got me
started many years ago, his huge seascapes were a thing to behold. Special recognition to my friend John at work, thanks for a nudge in the right direction - I know to never think about giving
him a microphone. In addition to Rev. Michael Beckwith in Los Angeles, I would like to give a special to Mahalo to John in Hawaii and recognize
both of them for their spiritual guidance. Finally, I’d like to send loving appreciation to my dear wife Karen for her patience and understanding over the years. |
