About The Artwork
This work is an expressionist, almost childlike take on the Battle of Lexington in the spring of 1775. Scrupulously avoiding anything like realism, the minutemen are merely sketched in, and the British contingent is obvious in their trademark red coats with white cross belts. Musket smoke, the bright sky and the steeple and trees on the horizon are all merely expressive elements in the composition. The surface of my works is textured, partly from the way in which I prepare the surface, and partly due to the style of painting, with thick paint applied with energy. This is deliberate, as I want to create works in which the "hand of the artist" is evident. Soft lighting is important when hanging, enhancing the color and energy, and minimizing the surface texture. It has white sides and comes ready to hang.

United States
I have been interested in art since childhood. Following art school, I have spent over 30 years as an advertising/graphic design professional. About 6 years ago I was able to begin painting again in earnest. My particular artistic journey began with an abiding interest in Fauvist landscape, especially those of Andre Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck. Bold color, expressive brushwork, and simplified drawing were also the hallmark of my work at that time. As other influences came to bear, including the German expressionists, the Blue Rider group, and individual artists such as Paul Serusier and Grace Hartigan, my work has been moving inexorably toward abstraction.
