I have invited you into my wilderness world. I hope these paintings
have brought back some pleasant reminiscent of a visit you experienced in the
presence of Mother Nature; that some scent; a mood; sensation recalled that
transported you to that place in memory again and that it was a pleasant
place and time.

    The outdoor wilderness is my venue. The mountains my forte. Wildlife are
natural habitants of these areas and it was only natural that they appear in
the paintings

    Though I am self taught per se, I have an enviable library of videos,
books, articles, tutorials and a life time of accumulated hand notes.

    For years my choice mentors have been David Shepherd and Robert
Bateman. Besides the selected field of art, I aso share with them the
concern of conservation of our pristine wilderness places and protecting the
wildlife that need these areas in order to survive. A more current mentor is
Jerry Yarnell who claims to be a semi-realist/impressionist and I try to
follow those lines.

   I have paintings in private collections of Lodge Guests from five
continents who thoroughly enjoyed our North American natural wilderness.

   Thank you for visiting my gallery. I hope you have enjoyed your stay. Come
back again. There will
be new paintings added from time to time and meet  the  new exciting Guest
Artists.
