Visual Art – Portland

Began painting 18 months ago after a 50 year absence from brush and paper. Love "falling into" the canvas, try to create a sense of "thusness" with paintings primarily focused on nature/beauty/mystery. Left a 35-year career in human services last spring to devote my time to art and music projects (presently working on an album of original doo wop music). Still trying to find my impressionist self in my painting.
