About Me

Work in my studio. I vastly prefer working with natural light for true color, plus, it's a happier vibe.

Sometimes you gotta get outdoors. Two hours into a plein air piece.

And framing a series pulls it together

dozens of swimmer in lanes, cool tones, blurred action.

Why I paint

  

My favorites: Degas, Sargent, Bernini, Gericault, Sorolla, George Bellows, Winslow Homer, Egon Schiele, Howard Pyle, Jenny Saville, Richard Mayhew.   After 35+ years as a film and TV director, navigating the collaborative process of filmmaking, it's a welcome change working solo on long-simmering visual ideas.  Painting what's around me, a sort of visual diary, is a way to share my obsessions, quirks and life.
