IMPORTANT NEWS
For those of you who have been following the saga of my vision since Nov of 09 there is a new development that  will call for "changes" in my life.

As it turns out, the deterioration of the vision in my left eye leaves me with extreme pain, eye-aches and headaches. All of these fun symptoms manifest themselves when I am doing detail work.

How about that?

So it looks like I will be segueing back to painting with oils and acrylic on canvas. My goal will be to come as close as I can to my previous work while maintaining a quality of life that doesn't drive me away from enjoying said life.

My plan is to complete the original pieces that I have left and then start blending the new work in. I figure that I should have made the complete transition by next summer.

For my patrons, I am still there for you.

For my students, I am still there for you. 

Visualize beauty.
