Landscape and Seascape Paintings
Artist
Statement
Despite
early aspirations for an art career, practicality prevailed leading to an
extended and fulfilling career as an Electrical Engineer. In the late seventies
during a trip to Europe my early aspirations
resurfaced; I
picked up the
paintbrushes and haven’t stopped since. After taking art courses in most of
the painting techniques, I was fortunate to be mentored by accomplished artist
Lenard Kester in his West Los Angeles studio. He gave me training in the
traditional classical painting technique, over a period of two years.
Inspired
by the turn of the century California Impressionists I strive to capture the
beauty, depth and energy of the land and sea of the Northwest. I am most
interested in capturing the quality of light as it defines a landscape, a still
life, botanical subject or portrait. You will find my work is as diverse as
human nature itself aiming to capture a celebration of life in all its wonderful
shades.
