I have been a signature member of the Midwest Watercolor Society for some years and was pleased to be awarded signature membership status in the National Watercolor Society (NWS) in October of 1999. The painting, "Organ Music", which leads off this exhibit, was the painting accepted into the 1999 NWS annual show. Should you be interested in one of my paintings I suggest you send me an e-mail and we can begin a conversation. All of these paintings are deluxe matted and framed and are under glass (The price includes framing in all cases). Special arrangements can be made for replacing the glass with Plexiglas for shipping. Or, you may choose to purchase only the watercolor and arrange for your own matting and framing. At any rate, I would enjoy hearing from you! We plan to begin an e-mail newsletter in the next year and we would be glad to include your e-mail address on our mailing list.

For quite some time I have been urged to exhibit some of my more
serious work on the internet. The watercolors shown here are some of my best work. I trust you will enjoy them! All in all, I paint nearly 100
paintings each year. They range from the more serious paintings displayed here to quick
sketches painted on location on our travels all over the world.
