    A series of koi paintings in oil was launched in 1988. Since that time, water themes continue to predominate - rain forests, water lilies, landscape reflections in water - and always the koi.In recent years, commission work has taken me to corporations all over the country, and to people's homes where I have painted their portraits , their dogs' portraits, and often their portraits with their dogs. In 2013 a series of abstractions paintings was added to the mix for its unpredictability and variety.
