I remember standing in front of the old Master paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art thinking this is how I wanted to paint. What followed were decades of experimentation. Even now I cannot resist trying something different just to see how it will come out. Although the subject matter has fluctuated over the years the pursuit of realism in the art has not.
I later became interested in the painters of the Brandywine River Valley… the early illustrators. This led to doing a lot of commercial art ads for Absolut, Absente, and Disney Cruise Lines, just to name a few. I find it fascinating that one of the ads I did for Absolut found it’s way into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution. Recently, I have had the privilege of again being selected to represent Absente in several more art ads. Actually over 150 of them. With 120 of them being included in the just released Absente book, Images and Tastes of the Green Fairy
