While riding the rails on the Verde Canyon Railroad in Arizona the balladeer strolled through the passenger cars singing cowboy ballads. I asked him to pose for this photo knowing that I wanted to paint him.
Watercolors became my focus after my studies at Scottsdale Artist's School in recent years. I enjoy painting figurative watercolors from photographs. I call myself an intuitive painter meaning I paint what 'feels' right about my subject. My favorite subjects are musicians. I expecially enjoy bringing vintage photographs to life from my palette of colors. My work is not limited to portraiture; still life, flowers and landscapes find their way to my easel. Since moving to San Antonio I have done some oil painting, a departure from watercolor techniques. I am a member of San Antonio Watercolor Group (SAWG) and Coppini Academy of Fine Art.
