impressionistic realism for lack of a better term. my favorite art in the painting world are paintings that are pleasing to hang long term because they are not so intense that they dominate the room and consequently don't have the longevity of less sensational ones.
Where do you find inspiration?i was a self employed photographer for decades even shot a spread and got a playbill from Playboy magazine, photography taught me a lot about light so i mainly find inspiration from my minds eye.
What would you do with $25,000?i'd keep it for unexpected costly needs that may arrive and if my roof, my furnace. my transmission on my 97 dodge van etc. don't need fixing or replacement i'll gift it to my two son's when i'm finished here.
