I paint in oil, watercolor, and acrylic.
 My first love is oil. I paint portraits, landscapes, and still lifes.
 I have won several blue and red ribbons and one Best of Show.
 I have done many commisions with pleased collectors.  I also
 have two paintings hanging in the Veteran's Center and in many
 home in the area.
 I taught a series of classes to children a few years ago. I
am now involved in helping friends geting started oil painting.

When I am painting, I am very happy and enthused.  That is
 the time when I am at my most peacful andyet excited.
 Having art in my life makes me very happy.
 Now, you know why I paint....I just have to.
