Still Life
"I have painted still life since I began painting in oils at the age of twelve. You will see in the selection here a chronological development that is echoed in my landscape and figure work. I have loved old tools and farming equipment and continue to paint them. The formal arrangement of still life and the play of geometry and light are a special pleasure."
