Born in Brooklyn New York. My school years I majored in art and was inspired by many Renaissance painters. I have painted realistic works, baskets of fruit, bottles, etc. But I started to feel restricted following just what I see. So I decided to sort of liberate myself and create more, using colors that I normally wouldn't use on trees  or leaves, etc. More like a musician that sits down and just starts playing whatever comes to his mind. Most of my life art was just an avocation. In my advanced years I decided to start selling my paintings, nudged by friends and family that felt my work has merit. When I paint I can truly say I put my heart and soul in every piece. I don't believe in selling potboiler paintings which is an inferior work of art that is chiefly for profit. It's usually one application of paint with no glazes and done without much care or thought. If you peer at my work you'll see much detail which some pieces took as many as 3 months to complete. Some people relish my paintings which always inspires me to continue and hope to sell. It all depends on someones taste.  Diane Becker a portrait artist and friend, admires my work and it's reciprocal. She classifies my work as fantasy.  I sold some pieces at a show once and I'll tell you, you'll pay much more if you should buy my work in a gallery. So if you're interested to save money get in touch with me directly. Prints are available as well. Thank you for taking the time and viewing my work.

Take a good look at this watercolor painting.When creating trees most artist will just use what they call ' stippling' to get the likeness of leaves and It's done very fast. It's a good affect, it's an impression of leaves and I have used  that method at times but there's not much effort in that. In this particular painting you can see every individual leaf. Some of my pieces appear as if they're from another realm. Look at the road and you can clearly see a diligent meticulous effort. Thank you for looking intently at this painting.  I hope you'll realize that the money you'll pay is well worth it.
