Composers, Conductors and Aficionados

GUSTAV MAHLER

I usually start with landscapes "En Plein Air" and finish them in the studio with my perceptions of what I could have seen and with what could add interest. I usually add human and/or animal figures. A few of these landscapes are purely imaginary. 

En Plein Air Landscapes

Painting of mine often begin with a specific image, idea or vision and evolve into fairly strange worlds of my own imagination. 

Strange Worlds

El Paso Region

Bird Representatives

Figure Paintings

I decided to combine my art with my recent interest and fascination with Madagascar Lemurs. A variety of these lemurs had somehow floated to this island millions of years ago and developed many species. They are primates, but not monkeys. Their African ancestors contributed their genes to the development of Homo Sapiens.

Outer Space

Watchers

Classical music eventually inspires me to attack the canvas before me with a variety of shapes and color that seem to appear. 

Fantasia

I used tombow ink pens on archival- grade 17x14 inch bristol board. to create these views of landscapes my wife and I encountered in various countries.
