About The Artwork

Let's let the sunshine daydream, okay? It's only right. Who hasn't flown dangerously close to the sun a few times? I know I have. Who hasn't dipped their toes in the cool surf even after you've been told not to do so? I know I have. Who doesn't get just a little bit wild sometimes? As for Greek Mythology, Daedalus never wanted his Prophecy to come true. He was a wicked smart inventor and architect and quite the problem-solver. (Heck; he figured out how to fly way back in the day!) Despite his love, warnings, and best intentions for his son when they were escaping captivity, Icarus was unable to control his reckless nature and his willingness to tempt fate. He flew a little bit too close to the sun, one darn time, and now he's branded forever as some kind of loose cannon who just wouldn't listen to his father. Let's give the kid a break, eh? Maybe it was just bad luck... If Icarus had only estimated his distance to the sun more accurately that day, we might be telling stories of "Icarus: The Greatest Explorer and Adventurer of All Time" (and founder of the Ancient X-Games.) This painting will brighten up any room and should be hung where it will be seen and enjoyed daily. The Daedalus Prophecy has an extreme painterly texture but try to avoid touching it. (You wouldn't touch Starry Night, would you?) The frame is included for free so it's ready to hang.

After a 30 year career in advertising and sales leadership I escaped the corporate media world a few years ago and can now focus on creating my own work. In other words, I'm an outsider artist that has decades of ideas pouring out. My intent is primarily to create pieces of art that are highly visual and interesting to enjoy and study... but may often express ideas, ask questions, unearth feelings, debate opinions, or sometimes be provocative. Like many paintings though, they're often just a combination of lines, shapes, colors, textures, and space. That said; I hope my work presents a UNIQUE combination of art elements to you and that you like what you see. Better yet, I hope you believe some of my pieces should be included in your collection. I've traveled the world but have always lived in the Philadelphia area. While I have no formal training as an artist, I've been a photographer and I've been around the art community my whole life. My wife Suzanne works as a Docent for the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, and together we've raised three wonderful sons that are all now making their own way in the world. We have a home and our studio in Chester County PA with our Bernese Mountain Dog; Mr Charlie.
