About Me

As a contemporary American painter, my work is all about escapism. As a painter who's been around the block a few times, I see what I do as providing something our world needs, relief from ourselves. A mental getaway; a glimpse to a place or time we may have visited, or place we plan to visit - if only in our dreams, that allows us the opportunity to escape, momentarily from the complexities of modern life. Plus, it's fun!

Ed hello, welcome here! Certainly you have a great courage to deal with Pointillist technique in your paintings, the colors are clear and very pleasant, I think you have given in point according to your artistic statement. Alex

Skillful use of color applied side-by-side to achieve a harmonious effect! Very nicely done.

Hi Ed.. very nice work. My favorites are Loretto Chapel, Red Tulips and Water Lilies. In my own works I apply the paint in little gobs of acrylic with a toothpick - so I understand the time it takes for you to complete each piece. Very crisp and clear.

Thanks Alex. I''ve been "toying" with pointillism for 30+ years!

I appreciate the look see to my website. Loretto Chapel was the very first acrylic on canvas I ever did using pointillism, and for me, that piece was a major milestone - i ended up selling it - now, I wish I''d kept it!
