My Technique & Style: I am a realist oil painter. My primary subject matter comes from the representation of nature. Using a high degree of craftsmanship I strive to create order, beauty, harmony and completeness in my paintings, whether I'm painting a landscape, still life or nude. I attempt to make paintings that gratify and ennoble those who see them.
