Living in rural Arkansas and driving along the small backroads I see many untended farms and left behind properties. Off in the distance was an old stone foundation and the remnants of a waterwheel. From this I took inspiration for a place that might have existed. I imagined what the old grain mill would have looked like before modern times, seeing the mill, the Millers home, the built-up course of the river in my mind from an era gone by. I believe the season would have been early spring, just after winter maintenance and just before the real work began. I did this work entirely in Oil, on Stretched Canvas, and while it may look familiar, the scene is invented from whole cloth.

I was born in Cedar Rapids, IA, lived in California for many years, wound up in a small town in Arkansas, where I finished raising my kids. After the children were all grown up, I set up a studio and really got serious about my art. While I did take some art classes in high school, I am mostly self-taught. I developed my techniques through trial and experimentation. Taking ideas from books available at art retail outlets, watching old videos of art classes on the cable and internet, I applied brush to canvas and made them my own. I tried several mediums to see what felt right. Everything from stones, to wood, a few works on glass and mirrors, and on one memorable occasion, I painted a whole room mural in my house. To add some variety, I also work in Pen & Ink, usually hard black inks, very fine points with some colored pencil shading. I always seemed to come home to traditional oil on canvas. It is there that my work flows most naturally.
