| My area of focus over the past 5 years has been painting, essentially — oil painting. I have specifically focused on both the craft as well as the "fine art" of the painted image. I think challenges to the contemporary painter in the twenty first century will be no more onerous than those that confronted our forerunners the last 500 years. The twenty first century will present new challenges and certainly, nbew answers. Commitment and conviction will be my shield and sword to enter the 2K fray. |
