After a career working with words, it was with great joy that I discovered that I love to paint.  I began by painting realistic botanicals in watercolor.  Since then, my painting has become looser and more expressive.  Most recently I have been using a palette knife with heavy body acrylic paints.  My technique is to put down an underpainting of random bright colors and to superimpose on that background a scene from the outdoors.

I do much of my painting early in the morning.  I have always been an extreme morning person.  Before I began to paint, this was a nuisance.  Now early morning is the most satisfying part of my day.
