While growing up in the 1960's, I started drawing rockets and astronauts. Later, I started painting, usually the same rockets and astronauts. With a little help from a neighbor to get me started with oil painting, I dabbled at it for quite a few years, mostly doing oil paintings of Earthborne landscapes (it is amazing how well Bob Ross's techniques actually work if you try them!). More recently I have gotten back to my roots, doing almost exclusively Space Art since 1995. If there are millions of artists out there painting landscapes & still life - confined to subjects on our one planet, there are only hundreds of Space Artists, and we have a whole Universe of subjects to draw from!
You can find my work on Fine Art America.
