I've been drawing and painting as long as I can remember, copying comic book panels as a kid, a career as a designer and animator, and the last twelve years as a painter. Hope you enjoy the work.
I love the first two pictures on this page particularly. I appreciate your realism - it is so close to how I see and remember the island every summer. Pat Thomas
The picture with the aluminum boat portrays a peaceful, quiet, cozy shore, serene and still. When Lake Superior is in "quiet" mode, it can really be like that. Dave Hanchette
Thanks for the kind feedback. Grand Island is certainly a special place, I believe I'll be back next Summer. It was wonderful to meet so many "Islanders".
I'm a landscape painter living in St. Paul, Minnesota, I teach painting classes out of my studio as well. I grew up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, that would make me a Yooper.
