“My subject matter is generally representational with concentration on color and texture.  I enjoy painting architecture, particularly Gothic in nature, as well as the colors and textures of old wood and machinery.  I also include animals and humans as favorites.  My subjects usually reflect past memories, moments in time, and the old-time circus.”
