If you love art, especially
aviation art, airplanes and aviation history, you've come to the right place. It doesn't matter whether you're
a serious art collector, enthusiast, or just a plane ol' aircraft nut. Sit down and take a load off, compadre!
Within this
site you will be able to check out my work, get an "over the shoulder" view of my newest projects as they develop, read some
of the articles I've written, come along with me on aviation adventures, and see choice photos out of my scrapbooks,
among other features. To navigate, click on any page of interest on the Navigation
Bar at the top of each page and you're there! My goal
has always been to show not only my artwork, but many of the techniques I use. Many of my in-progress photos are accompanied
by detailed explanations. I don't intend this to be an art instruction site, but rather I would like to give you
an appreciation for the amount of work that goes into each major canvas. Some may be under the impression
that artists simply walk up to the easel and commence painting, but as you'll see this is hardly the case with serious representational
art. Many hours of preparation in the form of in-depth research and pencil and oil studies goes into
each work before the final canvas is prepared for paint. I've had
tremendous feedback from you, my fellow aviation art and history enthusiasts. Your comments have been very
encouraging to me, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind notes and emails over the years. Knowing
that my prints become cherished possessions hanging in your home and serve to bring back special memories of lived
events or a loved one makes every late night, pencil sketch and brushstroke very meaningful and worthwhile. A special
note of gratitude goes out to those of you around the world that have purchased my original artwork.
Without the patronage of my collectors, none of this would be possible. I am very excited about my future projects,
some of which may not include aviation subjects, so check back often to see what I'm up to. I
sincerely hope that you enjoy your visit. Don't hesitate to contact me via email with any comments or questions.
