Welcome to my Home Page on the
web. My first objective is to show you some of the computer graphics I've developed.
This is a new creative area for me although I have been creating art in oils, acrylic,
pastels, pencil, ink and any other medium I came across since childhood. All of that
ended when I had a stroke in 1996. As far as I was concerned my creative days were
over.
One afternoon I was sitting in the
garden watching the birds when I happened to look at the hydrangea or snowball plant we
had next to the patio. I looked at the plant with that "artist's eye" mode
where I was analyzing how one would draw the flowers. I thought maybe I could draw
an impressionist version which would not require a great deal of detail.
I had a computer which I used to play
Bridge online and e-mail. My son had put Paint Shop Pro on the machine just in case
there was a time when I could draw again. He set up a tablet/stylus but I soon found
I did not have enough control to work with it. I abandoned the tablet and put my
left hand on my handy dandy mouse, with whom I had developed a strong relationship many
years ago. All this happened in early September 2000.
This website is a showcase for that
work. Browse, enjoy, critique or ask questions. Just imagine you came to my art
gallery on Madison Avenue or down in the Village in New York. Wander around and
enjoy.
