I unfurled my first painting to my grandmother, she told me her father use to paint (He worked for the Lehigh Railroad and later became a farmer) later in his life.   She showed me a few of his works that she had, and asked if I would make a copy of one of his paintings which belonged to my uncle. It was an oil on cardboard of the house she grew up in when she was a child.  I copied his painting and she proudly hung it on her kitchen wall.  My family talks about how it skipped two generations and now I'm the painter in the family.  I Have painted a portrait for my cousin of her children.  Every time I see her, she tells me she still has it hanging in her living room. 

This is a collection of some of my work, wish I could say they are originals, but models are scarce in Williams Township and I used pictures I found in magazines and books to get inspired.  What you see here is some of my best work to date, that I still have.  I gave many away as gifts and wish I had a photographs of them.  I don't paint as often as I use to but I still have some works that are progress.  Some of them I may never finished
