I looked at your website today and I must say I'm very impressed, both by the way your website is set-up and by your paintings. I especially like your landscapes. They really are beautiful - the shapes, strong sense of design and your marvelous use of color. You seem to be developing an abstract language which comes through even in your realistic work. --Carol Bajen-Gahm, Fellow Artist Your paintings are bright and exciting to look at so you are taking Charles Reid's advice to heart. I like your color sense a lot as well as the use of pattern in the abstracts. The direction you are taking with your realism clearly has roots in your abstract work which gives it all a nice sense of continuity. -Cindy Revell, Fellow Artist      "This page deals with "realistic" images. Yet, although these realistic images are the initial motivation to start the painting, I give myself permission to modify what I see; I let my feelings take over. The resulting images containg abstract passages interwoven with realistic ones. "Light Catchers" is one such example". —Albert Barcilon "Amaryllis Chatter": In this painting, each flower's personality strikes you; the eyes of the viewer are ant-scale as they travel through this intricate jungle of petals, stems and leaves. "Black and White Angels": This "fresque" painting uses stark colors in an Art-Deco like style to play out in checkerboard fashion. "Key West Victorian": It seemed as if the coconut trees are protecting this stately Victorian lady. "Red Cannas": This painting has a majesty of its own with its large, embracing red petals, and the sparse brush strokes in the background. "See you in Bali": You feel the breeze through the moving curtains; the chair has been moved as if someone just left the balcony. Its title is a promise of a future meeting. "Trade Winds": The warm orange colors tell of a warm summer afternoon. The sailboat's voluptuous hull shape mesmerizes you by its presence and its play of light in the cool water. The rigging and canopy are a lace-like pattern that contrasts with the massive shape of the hull. "Florida Marshes": A semi-abstract painting where colors and lines work together to create a mood of serenity found near such a pristine body of water. "Peaceful Sunset": Harmonious colors and strokes convey the stillness of the hour and provide a serene antidote–without the side effects!–to the frenzied pace of our lives. "Light Catchers": Figures of "Light-Catchers" gather in the foreground and wait to catch the sunset’s last rays. This whimsical composition interweaves both abstract and realistic images. "Way Yonder Apiece": Sunrise over an imaginary Southwest landscape. The painting and its title attest to my love for the Western landscape with its sweeping vistas and its array of colors that never fail to enthrall me. "Grand Canyon Suite #2": Guided by the emotions that this remarkable place evokes, I strived to capture its immensity, beauty and sumptuous palette.
