If you are in the Houston area, you can pick up a copy of Arts Houston Magazine.  On page 38 there is a review of the Artists Alive and Well Group Show in the Continental Building, in downtown Houston.  In the second column you can read what the writer thought about my paintings.  I was so honored by their remarks that I have placed the comments on the front page of this website.  Artists Alive and Well is a new organization started just last summer.  The groups organizers are not letting any grass grown under their feet.  They have shows scheduled in prestigious locations in the downtown Houston area for the rest of the year.  In February the show will be at One Allen Plaza.  I expect nothing but the best from this organization as it provides venues for artists to show and sell work, plus helping emerging artist grown as professionals.

I am also very proud to announce that Art on 5th in Austin, Texas,  Moss Rock Gallery, in the Woodlands Texas, and M2 Gallery in the Heights area of Houston are representing my work.   

I soon plan a new category for this website.  I will be presenting the $100 Painting.  Each an original work of art of whatever I chose to paint that day.  It could be an abstract/landscape or still life.  They will all be 16"x20" or smaller and un-framed.  As much as I love to paint huge abstract paintings, I also love the impressionist style of painting landscapes and still lifes. I even sometimes paint animals.  So this category promises to be exciting and fun to do.  Check it out in March or April of 2008.

My marketing guru tells me that I need positive comments from the folks that visit my website.  That means if you like one of my paintings, or several, or all of them, that you could leave a message saying what you think or feel about the piece/pieces.   You can do so, without adding your name, or if you don't mind your name being listed you can leave your name.

I am working with galleries more and more via the web and in person.  I always promote this website, and it would look wonderful, if there were endorsements by the public on my work.  Thank you for taking the time to do this.

I now have a new category, which includes Promotions.  My promotions are paintings that I have put on "sale".  The prices have been drastically reduced.  So check it out, you may find something that you can't live with out.

I have also placed some of my giclee reproductions in that category.  They are not Abstracts, but some of the realistic watercolors I have done in the past.  They are "County Rodeo", "Flowers for Sale", "Peonies Walze", and "Long Day's Ride".  These are the finest giclee reproductions on the market today.  They will last a life time.  They are done on German made watercolor paper using archival inks.  It is truly hard for me, the artist, to tell them from the originals.  You can be assured that if you purchase one of these, you will have a true work of art for the generations.

I have also joined Fine Art America.com (there is a link on my Links page).  This is a site where you can purchase reproductions of original artwork.  I have listed many of my Funny Flower Collection and a few Abstract paintings.  It is an inexpensive way to own artwork that you love and will enjoy.  You can purchase any of the listed paintings on paper or canvas.  Just remember if you purchase a paper reproduction it must be matted, and framed under glass.  Of course these matted and framed reproduction make nice statements on your walls.  Should there be a painting on this site that does not appear at Fine Art America.com, and you would like a reproduction of it, email me, and if possible I will list it on that site.

If you don't know what the little RSS on my website means, neither did I.  But it is a great and wonderful thing for all of you. If you do not wish me to know your email etc, but you want to keep up with what I am doing and when I add new paintings, all you have to do is click on that RSS.  I will never know who you are, but you will get updates when I add new work.  So it is a wonderful thing for all of you that enjoy my work.

Also my website can now accept PayPal for purchases of my work.  PayPal does not notify me of a sale.  So please notify me via email of your purchase asap.  Shipping cost for the continental US is included in the list price.  I can also accept personal credit cards and bank checks for your purchase.

For my Houston, San Antonio, Hill Country collectors, please let me know which NEW piece you would like to see and I will make arrangements to meet you with the physical piece of art work.

I am also booking workshops for the rest of 2007 and 2008.  I have one scheduled in New Braunfels, Texas and Kerrville, Texas for January.  Also late February/March one at the Watercolor Society in Houston, Texas.  Check out the Workshop tab on my website for info on these and other workshops. 

Also if you know of an art group who would like to have a new, innovating and exciting abstract workshop, please let me know.

Thank you for your interest in my work.  It is my life.
