Moment by moment, glimpse after glimpse… we are constantly being given opportunities to see the world as it is, in all its depth and simplicity. These photographs capture those times when the grandness of the world is punctuated by moments of stillness and...

This ‘marker’ represents both the psychological/emotional break I took for several years and the lapse in any serious effort with my work. From the years 1998 through to 2003, I took a long break from producing any serious artwork. THough I continued to...

My full-fledged work with Neo-expressionism began and ended in the 1990’s. My imagery moved away from landscape as the primary subject and it became more of a ground for images of people, emotions, ideas and reactions. I was completely enthralled by the idea of...

I remember. Unlike so many people I know, I remember. The details may not be 100% but the colors, emotions and general tone of the experiences are still vivid. So many middle-aged adults, like myself, look at young people and say, “Look at them. How can...

About the time I was really understanding the technical requirements of photorealism, I was drawn more and more to what was new and exciting in New York. The friends and acquaintances I had at the time, some of whom are still my big supporters and friends, were living...

What does it mean to be an artist? and then what does it mean to be an artist in the 21st century in the US? I’ve written here before how Duchamp determined what an artist was through a leap of complete conviction and belief and that concept continues to operate...

The works assembled here represent many of the floral pieces that I did over the years, both on paper and on canvas. Flowers were, and are, one of the loves of my life. They are inspirational in their ability to fight out into the open under the most awful of...

Had you ever heard of this word? I certainly hadn’t until recently when I read it in a blog interview with Claude Emile Furones on the website The Art Point. It’s an amazing interview with the most articulate of artists. Unfortunately, the interview is no...

As I’m finalizing all the pieces for my new work, Le Dejeuner sous la Pluie, I have been spending a great deal of time with the Manet work, Le Dejeuner sur l’Herbe, something I commented on in earlier posts. During this time I found that Michelangelo was...

There is a wonderful series on Public Television called “ART:21” that I recently started watching (ah, the wonders of Hulu!). This particular series seeks an in-depth investigation into the why and wherefores of contemporary art of all kinds. A portion of...
