I've been painting most of my life; all sorts of mediums - oil,
watercolor, acrylic, pencil, and pastel. Currently I am concentrating
mostly on watercolor in order to free up my style. People and
their lives have always been the subject matter that inspired me the
most. A considerable period of my life spent sailing-- both
racing and live-aboard cruising-- is reflected in some of my art as
well.
In my personal life, I am very much a recluse, avoiding most social
interactions, preferring to paint or work in my shop. Fortunately
for me, my wife Cindy handles all the details of everyday life for me -
keeps me alive, in contact, and does most of my framing. She
built this web site. Though I use the word artist, I still don't
consider myself one.
I think of myself as a 'draftsman striving to be an artist'. |
