I was inspired to paint a sunrise to represent the new opportunity each new day brings.

I painted this because I have always had dogs in my life and I believe all dogs are cool.

It is a depiction of the stress our loved ones endure as we are away.

A nice truck that I wanted to test my colored pencil skills on that came out pretty nice to me. I come from a family of die-hard Chevy drivers.

When I see the natural beauty around me, I know it is by divine providence and not an accident.

I see life now more colorfly (colorfully) and this is an expression of that.

This image represents reflection and introspection. Many times, we get so caught up in looking at the outside world that we forget to look at our inside world. This image is a reminder to slow down and analyze ourselves because the true treasure we seek might already be inside us.

When you start a charcoal piece, you start by toning the paper one color. The subject appears as you push charcoal into the paper while simultaneously pulling (lifting) charcoal off of the paper. This is a still life of an artist’s desk.

I did this piece to remind myself of my youngest son who loved to ride his tricycle.

In my childhood I loved going to the fairgrounds and riding on the carousel. When I saw this picture, it brought back those happy moments.

The movie was based on a violent era. But what I admired most from this drama was the importance the main character gave towards family. He also stressed honor, silence, and trust in God. That shows that there are no coincidences, everything happens for a purpose.

As a veteran, I feel that dis-abled vets do not get enough recognition. Even though they have a disability, they are still “able” to do so much. Thank you for your service.

A very Italian man chasing a woman in traffic.

This reminds me of walking the streets of old European cities or old San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Despite the mayhem of war, the dead are always “Unlost” to their fellow warriors. Semper Fi!

I drew this because it is a challenging medium but most importantly because of the influence of their culture.

I found the reference in black and white, and it was screaming for color. The crown of thorns represents the extent to which a woman would go for something she loves like this diamond.

A day I had when I was growing up was the influence for this painting.

A woman dreams of being a musician.

Too much in one day.

Yahweh Ben Yahweh, was a light bearer for a group of people was spiritual
Blind, deaf, and dumb in the self-knowledge of self. “Man know thyself
Is what he taught. He said that the greatest knowledge of self is the knowledge
Of God because the spirit in you is the bright light and life of God…!

I was inspired by the fictional character in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series
Based upon the legendary character.
