Diving Dolphin near sunset



Late in the afternoon the dolphins come to feed and follow the coast line off of Turtle Beach, heading toward Siesta.
If one is lucky they can be seen as the setting sun slips into the Gulf.
Here is one for you to enjoy.

Early on

I was influenced by El Greco, Picasso and Pollack.
I used mixed media including oil, casein, watercolor, Encaustic, scratch-board, mobiles and sculpture to create abstracts and surreal works.
Later, I was influenced by Norman Rockwell, Andrew Wyeth, and Eric Sloane.
I taught myself to work in acrylic, creating realistic impressions of what I saw and imagined.
I also began to study and explore the Old Masters and Impressionists and added their techniques to my art.
Now I am combining these influences into my "acquired style" and experimenting with techniques if they me.
I sketch, photograph and make field notes and may combine several ideas into a composition.
I also arrange objects and forms into still life studies.
