This is the question I get when people see my business card or visit my
website. The answer I give them is “they’re coming, I swear!” Well, here are some of the pieces I’ve worked on this year. I’m looking into having these reproduced so you will see more information on the site when it’s available. As for parting with the originals… well, I haven’t decided on that yet. Right now I feel like the original paintings are part of me and not sure how to say goodbye to them.
When I was younger and going to architecture school I took a watercolor class and enjoyed it but never did anything with the skills I acquired. It wasn’t until 20 years later I decided to pick up the brushes again and attempt to create something interesting. In my journey I met a gentlemen by the name of
Arthur Gilmore who is a tremendous watercolor artist and teacher. His classes are 2 doors down from my
martial arts school in
Suffern, NY in his wife Connie’s frame shop. For the last 5 years or so I’m been painting in his class and have found that painting has not only given me another way to express myself but has also helped in giving me an “artistic eye” for my photography. Anyone wanting to give watercolor painting a try should come down to Arthur's class, Monday morning 10am to 1pm or Tuesday evening from 7pm to 10pm. Thank you again Arthur for the inspiration and motivation to see things from a different point of view. Check out his website by clicking his name above.
On a different note next month I’ll have some big news on a show/fundraiser my friend,
Mark Sganga, and I will be doing in the new year for the
NY/NJ Trail Conference. The show will include
Mark’s live music along with my
photography. More on this when we work out all the details. Until next time, remember make your daydreams a reality by acting upon them.
