As an impressionist artist with an addiction to vibrant colour, my hope is to engage your senses in my website to see life as I do. As you travel through the Galleries, separated as they are by location and emphasis, it is important to imagine yourself in these places and to respond to the way the colours make you feel. | |

GALLERY 1 Colour in the land This gallery demonstrates the similarities in land colour values in Italy and in Canada. The colours exist - you only have to see them. If you drive through the countryside thinking you are merely seeing greens and browns, you are limiting yourself to a one-dimensional view.

GALLERY 2 A complementary union This gallery shows how easily buildings and land stand together. There is almost no distinction between them. In other words, an overall view is not a matter of this and that, but the complementary union of two entities.

GALLERY 3 Cityscapes and urban flow This Gallery contains cityscapes where distinctive differences and flavors are reflected. Architecture is positively an art form and even the grungiest areas of a city have a certain poetry to them. I wonder if the people who build each city have a unique approach to life which is manifested in their designs. Even though we can appreciate the progress, the clever combination of old and new buildings gives a flow to the areas, rather than an interruption.

GALLERY 4 Painting an experience This Gallery is a group of paintings from a variety of places dear to me. As an artist, I am happiest when I paint from photographs I take myself of places I love. Ontario offers such bountiful and diverse scenery and when the paintings are done from a memory, as well as a printed reminder, they are done with passion.

GALLERY 5 Commissioned artwork This Gallery is work done on commission. A man's home is his castle, fruit is important to some and flowers pique the happiness of others - we should celebrate our differences in taste and joy. Paintings should stimulate the viewer's interest and it is all of interest. The best thing about painting commissions is the sentiment connected to the choice.

GALLERY 6 Colour in the light If I had to describe the aspect of my painting that is most important to me, it is the colours I use. I believe that in this gallery I have chosen paintings which most clearly represent this goal. When a painting is fractured, the colour tones are dramatically altered, creating a new perspective.
