<strong>Art</strong> has been my passion for as long as I can remember.<br />

I love people and I have relished drawing and painting<br />

the figure since my grade school days. Fortunately,<br />

<strong>no</strong>ne of those early grammar school portraits are at<br />

my website. My purpose is to create images that are<br />

beautiful and historical. My focus is to display Christian,<br />

family values and reveal the truth by reflecting historical<br />

facts. My Bachelor of <strong>Fine</strong> <strong>Art</strong> at the Kansas<br />

City <strong>Art</strong> Institute led me to a life as a full-time graphic<br />

designer and freelance illustrator for over thirty years.<br />

I enjoy the play of light and color in nature and I enjoy<br />

telling a good story.<br />

I have cherished having several Native Americans<br />

pose for me when I am <strong>no</strong>t painting commissioned portraits,<br />

or painting plein air. I have been interested in the<br />

life of Native Americans because of my ancestry. My<br />

grandfather was a cowboy, horse trainer and rancher<br />

in Fayetteville, Arkansas. He was married to my grandmother,<br />

who was half-Cherokee and half-African American.<br />

I remember when I was a little boy. Then, I would<br />

ride horseback and sometimes travel to see my grandfather<br />

in rodeos in Oklahoma and Arkansas; it was an<br />

awesome experience. Currently, I am researching the<br />

history of the relationship between Native Americans<br />

and African Americans in the old west. I have been<br />

fortunate to gain the assistance from the Texas Civil<br />

War Museum. Their historians assist me in my quest<br />

to insure all the artifacts in my paintings are authentic.<br />

My goal is to have my paintings auctioned successfully<br />

at the Coeur d’ Alene in Re<strong>no</strong>, Nevada in my lifetime.<br />

I am a member of the Oil Painters of America and I<br />

work in oil paint because I enjoy the flexibility of oils.<br />

I enjoy observing people and I still continue in figure<br />

drawing sessions with the live model. I challenge myself<br />

to work more efficiently by writing articles and blogs<br />

about different oil painting techniques and attending<br />

workshops. Some of the painters that have influenced<br />

me include; Norman Rockwell, Caravaggio, Howard<br />

Terpning and Mian Situ.<br />

I hope you enjoy my work!<br />
