Artist's Statement
I have studied fine artists such as
Jerry Yarnell, Buck Paulson, Joanny,
Jeff Yoemans, Luongo and others. Also have
attended workshops.
My art is surf oriented and generally consists of
surfboards, beaches, surf, seascapes, lifeguard
towers, beach houses and buildings.
I am still surfing locally here in Huntington
Beach, Calif, am able to get out 2-3 times a week. Surfing drives my art and painting
helps me enjoy surfing.
I use the best art materials available, oil & acrylic paints on traditional canvas. Sizes are
generally in the 12 by 16 and 18 by 24 inch range, and occasionally a larger piece will be
created. We accept and welcome commissions.
Fine art techniques are used. Includes under-painting, then going over each area of the
image with additional coats of paint, takes me 20 to 30 hours to complete each piece.
While I paint my thoughts are on composition, color, values, and surfing.
I try to get a lot of bright colors in each piece of work I do.
Personal History
My age now is 79. Married to Joyce 57 years. Three children, five grandchildren, one
great grandson, and two more on the way.
For several months I was a infantry soldier, Korean War, 1951. Purple Heart.
Former ballplayer, racing yachtsman and golfer.
Art awards from the Huntington Harbour Art Assn, also have had showings in the
Huntington Beach Art Center.
We now have original paintings and quality reproductions in hundreds of private and
corporate collections throughout the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica, Canada, the UK, Europe,
Hawaii, South Africa, Asia and the South Pacific.
