What is your favorite type of art to create?

I am lucky I can draw and I am an acrylic on canvas painter I can do realistic work and surrealism. I can draw but paints are my favorite. Also abstract and realism. My work comes to my brain from everywhere. Sometimes it feels like magic. Other time it painful and emotional. I make statements with my work did a series about coved, cancer, war and statements. Draw animals do dog and cat portraits. I live in the mountains on the east slopes of the Sierra Nevada in a small town Twain Harte Ca

Where do you find inspiration?

I have so many images waiting in my brain. I paint most all the time.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would have my own studio, give lessons and have a gallery. Get a promoter. I am 77 years old and still strong and productive.
