Excellence in Art Since 1974
I have painted approximately 660 paintings during my 34 years as an artist, and most of them were painted during the first seven years of my career when I was dependent on selling my originals. This site contains images of both current and older paintings, including many that were created as early as the mid 70's. Over the span of my career, I have had the opportunity to broaden the range of my painting styles and subjects. While looking through the images, you will see a wide variety of subjects including songbirds, mammals, birds of prey, waterfowl, sporting scenes, upland gamebirds and in my latter works, more classical subjects such as still life, landscape and figurative work.
Painting Quality Categories
"Competition quality"... These are paintings that were created for stamp contests, and due to their compositional nature, and degree of technical refinement, they are more time consuming to produce. So as a result, a small competition painting will usually cost more than a large one that was painted simply for a wall piece.
"Wall piece" ... Paintings that are created for normal viewing purposes, and not painted to technical perfection.
" Refined" ... Paintings that are created specifically for reproduction-print purposes. I spend almost as much time on these as on competition pieces.
Most of the paintings on this site are highly refined, and fall under the above two categories (competition and refined), because I have been painting primarily for art competition and print production over the past 25 years or so.
