I've been painting Oil on Canvas since 1975, after years of sketching and pen and ink. I studied the basics of oil panting at the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts. My inspiration comes from many places, including hikes throughout the Pacific Northwest. I was honored to have 3 paintings in the 100th Anniversary of the Olympic National Forest Art Show in 2005 (Olympia, WA). I have participated several years in the local Olympia Arts Walk event, shown work at The Henderson House (Tumwater, WA), as well as at the Schmidt Mansion (Olympia, WA). Thank...more
