| Introduction | I painted caricatures in Art School and after. Then about twenty years ago I began to get a little more serious about my painting. Now after the mid-life change almost every artist goes through, I paint with the cityscape or landscape being the predominate focus of my art. I am painting with concentration on the feeling of the atmosphere. |
