painting in Gloucester |

He
records the impressions of a scene with increasingly powerful brush strokes
in his characteristic palette of vibrant colors. His paintings capture the
light, movement, and mood of the composition. They share with the observer
a story which blends the past and present combining his family tradition
with a contemporary need for a personal statement.
