Most of my commissions come from all over the country so I do them from photographs. I learned to do portraits in college with live models and I enjoy doing them that way. This afternoon I asked my wife to sit for a painting. I enjoyed just being free with my brush and I really feel I portrayed her as she really is. I loved doing it.

I did this for fun. I was caught by the colors of the afternoon sunlight and just had to paint it.

The magic of reflection follows Elise as she walks along the beach.

On any sunny day at Cape San Blas, Florida, people can be seen with boogie boards, kayaks and any number of floating devices. It’s a great place to forget the world and enjoy life.

A memory of my wife, Norene and her dad shortly after we became engaged about forty-nine years ago.

I painted this portrait of my wife for 2022.

A few years ago  my wife commented to me that Frida Kahlo and Rembrandt did an annual self-portrait.  She thought I should do the same, so here’s my tenth annual self-portrait.

The Donna Kay is a shrimp boat that was stuck in the sand at Cape San Blas, Florida.  It apparently drifted here,  but when Hurricane Michael blew through the area, it pushed the boat further into the sand.  There had been attempts to get it out, but to no avail.  It was a tourist spot but has since been demolished.
