I have painted and drawn in graphite (pencil) now for about 50 years! You’d think by now I’d be where I want to be but that’s not so. I’m still happily struggling to make paintings that capture people’s likenesses and some of their soul. I happily struggle to depict buildings that interest me as well. Somewhere between my desire to capture what I see I get sidetracked and I detour into art! I never quite capture the realism, never quite get exactly what I want but sometimes, just sometimes, good paintings result.
I work on a small sunporch in the front of my home. I sit right by the window as the light streams in from 10 AM to 4 PM two or three days a week. I love the challenge of my work and I feel fulfilled after a good day of painting. I hope you will come by for a visit and to see my efforts.
