Tuesday, July 11, 2017 at 03:31PM In this artist statement, I talk about how my love for the rivers started back when I was a boy and my father would take me with him to the Pittsburgh wharfs during his truck deliveries. I came across some old photos depicting that time period. In this first one, if you look closely, you'll see the river and some working boats in the back. I also find the old trucks pretty interesting.

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 11:19AM I received a nice boost last week when Carol Lois Haywood posted some of my river boat art on her Boat Art Blog. We share the interest of working boats from our respective regions of the country. Carol is a prolific painter, sharing her transparent watercolor, with good use of color and control. Her boats are nicely drawn with a solid design and her work is very consistent. Her readers chose "Low Country" as a favorite out of three of my working boat series.
