This piece was commissioned by my daugher, with somewhat specific requirements. Red train cars, the engine yellow (I made it yellow-ish) and the end product to be square. It is based on a photo my daughter and her husband took in Colorado on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railway as it steamed through the San Jaun Mountains. The Animas River rushes down below while the train clings to the side of the cliff.

Self taught, I use the computer to paint. I've always been interested in computers since I first worked on one way back in high school. And I've always had an appreciation for art, as my mother is an accomplished painter. Merging the two, what you see are the results. Digital work that looks (hopefully!) like a traditional painting. My paintings are mostly places I've been, preserving the memory and sharing them with the world. I love to travel, seeing and experiencing new things. Painting the things I see reflect the wonder I had when I first saw them. I hope that when people see my works, they think the subject matter is interesting, whether or not they like the painting. Oh..and I paint flowers too, among other...
