for the last couple of days my son (eric) has finally convinced me to get this blog put together so with his help this is the beginning - i am a terrible typist so as you can see, i only put as much punctuation as necessary

the short version of me (yes, that too - i'm 5'7") is that i am an artist and i paint landscapes in oils - been involved in art since kindergarten in just about any art form or another and finally settled on landscapes -

as time allows, i will be posting more but for now i want to get back to a painting i'm working on and spend some time figuring out more of this "blog stuff"
