About The Artwork
This painting started out as a figurative representation of my friend James Watkins. As I worked on the painting it evolved into a composite, where different elements were culled from different reference material. The landscape in the background is based on images from South Dakota. The figure "James Watkins" is seated in the atrium to the local museum here in Kalamazoo. The landscape part of the painting has a rather bleak and beautiful sadness to it. The sun itself gives off a sadness, and marks time, and climate change. The figure is on the edge of the bench and therefore, the beginning of being on the edge with James Watkins. This painting is worked out in oil paints,which for myself is a preferred medium.

United States
I consider myself a regionalist painter. Similar in philosophy as Edward Hopper, Thomas Hart Benton and Andrew Wyeth. Instead of attaching themselves to a particular movement, they pushed their art into an individualist pursuit. About 35 years ago I started out to be a graphic designer. My tenure in that workforce was short lived and in retrospect I never liked design as much as fine arts. I have been painting on a daily basis now for around twenty years. I like the idea of being versatile with my skills, and I try not to limit myself to one particular subject matter. Having good drawing skills is important to me, and i believe it is an asset to all kinds of disciplines.
