A gondola is being rowed down one of the many canals of Venice, Italy. The gondolier is about to pass under the Bridge of Sighs, which connects the interrogation rooms of the Doge's Palace (left) to the prison (right) on the other side of the canal. According to some, the windows of the bridge would be the last view a prisoner would have of beautiful Venice for somet ime, and thus would sigh when looking out.

Another legend is that if a couple kiss on a gondola at sunset under the bridge as the bells of St. Mark's tower rings, they will be granted eternal love and bliss.

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...
