Harry - Portland Oregon Painting

So many creative urges flow through me from nature, photography and people...incredible amount of material to be inspired and whirled around into. The energy and desire comes now, where before it was vacant (the sudden loss of my daughter 2012 had me paralyzed) Now, once again, I have returned to being immersed in the spirit and personality of my subjects; whether they are people or animals. I'm enjoying smaller sizes in canvas, where the moment of movement is easily captured. In my past I was honored to have created with stained glass... windows and art for clients in Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina as well as Georgia. In addition to windows, I have collaborated with Bear Lake Studios in Gulf Breeze Florida in creating a magnificent double entry doors and side lights for clients, Mr and Mrs Kelly, in Destin Florida which was highlighted in a local paper. Influenced by F.L. Wright, my clients, Mr and Mrs Barker in Shalimar Florida and I designed stained glass kitchen cabinet doors which reflect the natural environment of the Gulf Coast and the linear Wright designs. In 1994 after 3 hurricane interruptions the 7' window for Presbyterian Church of Shailmar was completed in memory of V F Neff. I have worked with Interior Designer Constance Crosby of Pensacola Florida in creating custom bath and dining room windows of which one was highlighted in August '94 Southern Living - Gulf Coast edition. Specialties Working with clients - drawing ideas and implementing them into fine art to beautify, symbolize and meditate spaces. Using symbols in creating meditative stained glass 'Om and Lotus' for Yoga practitioners.
