Grandpa's Tractor:  watercolor on paper. This was the painting that started a wonderful journey for me.  It was completed in 2001 and won third place in the first juried show I entered.  I have since realized my life long dream of becoming a professional artist.  I continue to paint landscapes and objects that make up the rural setting where I live and work.  I seek to share with others the beauty I see in the ordinary parts of our lives.  Wither working a more realistic style in watercolor or an impressionistic to expressionistic style in oils, I hope that the viewer is left with a sense of wonder in seeing things from my unique point of view.
