My original watercolors are painted on professionally made premium grade, acid free watercolor papers. In addition, the paints I use are also professional grade. My originals are displayed at art shows, festivals and galleries. All of my originals are professionally framed by my personal framer of 15 years. I will be happy to describe the framing or send you an image of the framed original. My original watercolor creations are collected nationally and internationally in private and corporate collections. I am asked repeatedly why I paint what I do…the answer is it makes me happy and I hope it will make you happy also. My Inspiration comes from many sources, trips, photos, a walk, a talk with someone, my mood that day or how many cups of coffee I have had, or sometimes not had, that day. As you will no doubt notice, my painting style varies with the subjects I am working on. Some of my work is very detailed while other pieces may be very loose and soft.
