ABOUT THE ARTWORK
When my youngest daughter and I were out picking apples in our back yard and I saw the enthusiasm she had for all the apples we were getting I wanted to capture it. She was only about 10 years old at the time and very much excited to be picking the apples we had been waiting for since I planted the trees over 15 years ago. I tried to get the reflection of the purple shirt on her face. My favorite parts of this painting are her hands. They were positioned in such an odd way on the basket that it was a challenge for me to get them right on the painting without them looking strange. And as it so often happens, the odd positioning of the fingers is one of the more interesting parts of the painting. I also love painting fruit. My very first painting I did in the early 90's was a bucket of fruit and I just love playing with the shapes and colors.

I dabbled in painting 30 years ago in college. My dad (who is not a formal art teacher but is a fantastic painter and the best natural teacher I know) taught me all about technique and composition. Then... I took many years off as life happened. About 6 years ago I was completely obsessed with judo. All I wanted to talk about was judo. This throw, that submission - it was an obsession. So finally, after witnessing the glassy-eyed look from friends and family every time I took the conversation in that direction, I decided to channel that passion into painting. The subject: a judo throw. Left-handed uchi-mata to be specific. With digital photography, I was able to share my progress with my dad and solicit his advice even though we live 3 hours apart. It turned out pretty good for not having painted in so long and rekindled a shared interest with my dad. So I started doing paintings that were fueled by my different interests and passions. A boxing glove and a boxer, backpacking equipment, then my kids, my wife, anything meaningful to me. My passion for painting is now at least equal to my passion for judo. Two years ago I decided to combine interests again when I took my very first electric guitar, rebuilt it and painted my original artwork on it. It went from just collecting dust to being my main guitar that I play. It gets a lot of attention when I play out. I now have done many of these for customers wanting a unique instrument with original artwork. I am building and painting guitars and still painting on canvas and it all started from an unusual passion for judo.
