Hi. In 2002 I moved to Worcester, Massachusetts from Iowa City where I had taught reading and study skills at Kirkwood Community College for the 11 years preceding my retirement.  Before that I taught at the University of Iowa and at high schools in Phoenix and Detroit.  I have been painting for the last four years.  Four links below direct you to picture albums that show some of my work.  Also check out Bob's photographs at his web site and  paintings at  web sites of my friends.

Almost all of my abstract works aren't strictly abstract.  Some are more surreal.  Nevertheless, all stretch my imagination.

I usually start these paintings at Princeton Arts Society on Tuesday mornings and finish them up at home from photographs.
These pastel portraits are what I can achieve from two hours on Tuesday mornings.
The first five paintings are from life and the rest started out as life but I finished them from photographs.
