art communicates

Art is never mute, no matter how distant in time the artist's act from the viewer's observation of the result. Art is perhaps the greatest creative collaboration. What's communicated may depend on the mood of the viewer as much as the intent of the artist, but art always has something to say to the senses, the intellect, or the emotions.

art is fun

I enjoy creating the art that you'll see in my Online Galleries. I hope that you'll enjoy viewing it. Also, be sure to check out Demonstration, in which a piece evolves from initial concept to finished painting. In Ancestral Ravens, you'll see some of my art cards used in a multimedia setting.

American painter Robert Henri (1865-1929) probably said it best

All real works of art look as though they were done in joy . . . Art is, after all, only a trace - like a footprint which shows that one has walked bravely and in great happiness.
