I’ve been a dedicated painter for 50+ years and still delight in finding complex and hidden compositions in the seemingly simplest of places. I try to capture beauty and a sense of time and place, focusing on light and shadow, colors and tone, and the abstract qualities in the puzzling shapes that warp over a surface.
