The paintings
This Paintings page is the entry point to view almost the entire collection of paintings completed since 1963. Represented here, the work spans a painters reflections on art and landscape for a good part of his life. Thus far. For this website, the paintings are categorized by series. Each series appears below from left to right in chronological order beginning with California, 1949-1975, until finding us here on the Ohio River in Kentucky, 1989 to this writing, in 2008.
For you first-timers on a site of this kind a few words about how to navigate: each Series below is a record of work produced during or after living (working), or visiting, in the region. To view all the paintings within a Series click on it's title below. The Series page then opens with thumbnail images beginning with the most recent painting that I've completed on the region. Then, again from left to right, to the earliest, or first works in the series at the bottom of the page. In some cases, there will be scrolling for you to do to arrive at these early works in the region. Use the blue side scroll bar to the right. If a particular image of the painting on the Series page catches your eye, click on it's thumbnail for a larger view and text with provenance, etc.
On a technical note: the images of the paintings appearing on this website were digitaly scanned either from old photographic prints, 35mm negatives or professional 4"x5" transparencies (some dating from the 1950's), and recently, downloaded from digital cameras. The photography was, and still is, a simple record of the work normally done as the paintings were completed.. The photographs were never intended to professionally represent the painting in a published form. Worse, the image quality of some of the prints and negatives prior to 2000 have suffered from the vicissitudes of life. However, where ever we can, we have done our best through photoshop to truthfully recover and replicate, for this website, the colors of the original painting. Finally, we should be reminded that, no matter how hard we try, color accuracy will immediately degrade from the original painting even with the most professional photography. No reproduction can match the original (yet). Oh pixel, where is thy mercy!
