Always enjoyed drawing and painting… and as my facility with words developed through the years… an interest in writing. Favorite author is Lawrence Durrell (Alexandria Quartet)… written a couple novels (click on the covers of AMAZONAS and MAN IN A BLACK CAR among my art postings to the right for more info)… Love movies, listening to music, and traveling… Born and raised on the West Coast… lived at the beach many years and enjoyed the sand and surf lifestyle… Now in Texas enthralled by the raw power of lightning storms… and still drawing, painting, and writing…
