A Brief History of my ART

I've been an artist all my life. As a child I got art supplies for every birthday and Christmas.As an adult I studied art at UCLA and in other artist's studios according to their expertise.
Conceptually I paint ABOUT things rather than OF THINGS. So "Mt. ST. Helens" is about the eruption in 1980 at the same time I experienced arthritis for the first time.
"Becoming" is about the perculating of life on earth after the big bang and "Waves", as with most traditional art is self-explanatory.
Often my paintings contain faces that I didn't consciously put there. Sometimes they become the actual subject of the painting. See photoshop art.

Mount ST Helens and ME

...painted in oil in 1980 when both
of us had fire in our bones..nuff said

This is an abstraction painted in oil
about life forming on earth.

Reflections

The curve of the Santa Monica Mountains
Reflecting in the stillwater of the bay
painted in water-color

Sometimes a painting, when taken into a computer for a while becomes something else. This was a watercolor somewhat altered by computer enhancement of a volcanic eruption, hot lava reaching into the sea.

Eruption

in Hawaii when the lava flow met the sea, until it was born again in photoshop as a major nesting site on a ciff face in the virgin islands.
