I'd love to share drawing and painting from nature. I am openly excited to learn from others what they have gathered by their interests and passion.

I studied traditional realism in Florence for 5 years (check out the pics). Since I've been back in the US I'm painting almost full time, and practice Tai Chi daily. I read a lot of history & non-fiction. I get outdoors a lot because I like to paint landscapes. I am a vegetarian, drink socially, I don't mind smokers, I'm a good cook!
