   "The Artist's Studio" was created in 1998 as a gallery of works for public viewing. It was a small website containing no more than ten pages of assorted scanned works. It has since grown into a rather large collection of works, and the gallery you see here. Many pieces of art you may view are under new ownership and some lost to the hands of time. A few are still around, waiting to find a good and appreciative care-taker. If anything strikes your fancy, email me and let me know. I may be able to make copies or prints. This body of work is meant to be shown as an example for anyone who would like a similar creation. I do take commissions, given reasonable notification and time involved.

   Most of my works are drawings, done on assorted types of paper with multi-media ranging from pencil and charcoal to ink, marker, chalk, watercolor, paint, and even wax. I create mostly works in the area of Figure Drawing, using the model to express a mood, emotion or sensation, and to explore the range of texture and color that can be achieved. The galleries span a time frame from about 1996 to the present, and cover different areas in which I have experimented.

From "Mythology" by Edith Hamilton
   "The sculptor [in ancient Greece] watched the athletes contending in the games and he felt that nothing he could imagine would be as beautiful as those strong young bodies. So he made his statue of Apollo. The storyteller found Hermes among the people he passed in the street. He saw the god 'like a young man at the age when youth is loveliest,' as Homer says. Greek artists and poets realized how splendid a male could be, straight and swift and strong. He was the fulfillment of the search for beauty. They had no wish to create some fantasy shaped in their own minds. All the art and all the thought of Greece centered in human beings... On earth too, the deities were exceedingly and humanly attractive. In the form of lovely youths and maidens they people the woodland, the forest, the river, the sea, in harmony with the fair earth and the bright waters."
