Introduction
As an ARTIST, I strive for the intensity of shadow and light. The balance of
tint and tone and if done correctly, dimension.
Over the last 50 plus years, I have had the luxury to be able to draw from artists and creators throughout Canada.. , street
artisans in the Middle East, China and Europe. My painting technicque: drawn from the Baroque time period as a modified Flemish technique.
Style: contempary realism (a north american style of painting).

Technicque (modified Flemish)
1) preping for raw canvas
– rabbit glue applied when cooled sanded flat.. to seal the canvas
– primer (usually white) applied for medium to adhere.
– model paste applied then sanded flat to mimic a wood panel or texture (cameo effect).
2) the sketch is transfered to canvas and then lines are inked in with a shellac resin ink.
3) the first stain
– mixed with turpentine and usually umbra. Matching a mid tone of final work a thin layer to cover the white.
4) monochrome layer
– line enforcement and tone development.
5) first color layer
6) second color layer
7) glazing, scrimping and sign

A sincere artist is not one who makes a faithful attempt to put on to canvas what is in front of him, but one who tries to create something which is, in itself, a living thing.
