see the good Taped to my easel is this quote by artist Ellsworth Kelly (b.1923): "The most pleasurable thing in the world for me is to see something and then translate how I see it." Me, too!

My long-time affinity for dark outlines in drawing has come forth in the pleasurable practice of acrylic painting. Working from photos I take of subject matters that make me feel good (flowers, fruit, and food being some of my favorites), I make simplified drawings/ interpretations of them and then "color them in" with layers of paint. I've been working this way since about 2002. Someone described my style as "somewhere between a coloring book and stained glass," and that is pretty accurate!

I also enjoy painting commissions of particular subject matters, especially food:
