Everyone should be able at some point in their life to live their dream, for me this has been that point in time. I never bore of the subject matter that nature and history provides, nor of the endless possibilities that they willing afford an artist. I hope that each painting brings a new feeling to the viewer and leaves them longing to know more about the place or event!
