I got an award for this painting recently:
"The handling of the medium is just superior. The organization on the page shows a wonderful understanding of abstract design. There is a good sense of movement and use of lost and found edges. Lovely painting."
--Don Andrews, AWS, judge

I work mostly in watercolor or oil, but enjoy others.
Some of my great teachers: Jerry Brommer, Frank Webb, Don Andrews, Mary Whyte, Charles Reid, Carl Dalio, Janet Campbell, Laurel Daniel.
I've taken many painters to England, France, and Italy and love to teach. My French and Italian serve well enough for us to get around and taste fab meals and fun wines.
