“Some of my earliest memories are of desert sunsets.  Flaming pink and orange over a horizon of solid indigo-as though the bottom half of the sky was simply ripped away.  Nevada sunsets.  I don’t recall who started my drawing, but I have always loved making pictures.  Sketching was my personal refuge throughout school and later during my work life.  My written materials were always well decorated.  Now I am painting most every day-I am such a lucky man.  I was recently asked, “Why so many colors?”   ”Why? Because I can.”
