HARBOR DAY DANA POINT CALIFORNIA Painting

OCTOBER 4TH 1959 BORN 1984, I WENT TO EUROPE TO STUDY ART WITH MY UNCLE ARTIST JACK RUTHERFORD FOR ONE YEAR AND THIS EXPERIENCE TRANSFORMED ME AS A PERSON . I WORKED IN A RESTAURANT CALLED CAFE TU TU TANGO, AT THE OUTLETS OF ORANGE CA., FOR THIRTEEN YEARS PAINTING THE SETTING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT UNTIL THE PROCESS OF SETTING DOWN AT THE EASEL AND PAINTING WHAT IS IN FRONT OF ME BECAME EFFORTLESS . 15 YEARS AGO WHILE I WAS WORKING AT CAFE TU TU TANGO A BARTENDER CAME OVER TO MY EASEL AND SAID I AM GETTING MARRIED DO YOU THINK YOU CAN PAINT THAT FOR ME ? THIS BEGAN A WHOLE NEW CHAPTER OF WORK PAINTING WEDDINGS LIVE AS THEY HAPPEN . WATERCOLORS FROM IN AND AROUND SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA HAVE BEEN MY PASSION FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.
