When I was a teenager my mother got me a bird, a cockatiel, for getting an A in biology. This painting is my memory of him.  I named him Pele. He gave me a lot of joy.

Wow, just found an old pic of my bird (Feb 20, 2015) looking through an old hard-drive. Sweet! Pele is the one on the left. The all grey-one was his girlfriend. 🙂

Painted with Acrylic in 2009. This is one of my favourites.  Hope you like it too.

Good-day. That’s a lighthouse and well, one of my favourite paintings. Not sure why.  I painted it when I returned from Baya having spent 10 wonderful days in a place called El Rincon on the peninsula.  It’s virtually a desert area; definitely the real-outback of ‘Merico’ but surrounding it, the warm Gulf-of-Mexico water. This piece is a scene in my mind’s eye near Inn at Rincon where, friends and I were staying.  Needless to say artistically, my image is more fantastical than was the reality. But yes I did see that horse. My memory of the beauty of this part of the world simply incomparable.
