Frequently Asked Questions
and some that I wish were asked more often

How long have you been painting?
All my life. As far as "serious" oil painting, I started when I was 12. Let's just say over 20 years and leave it at that!

How long did it take you to do THAT painting?
Over 20 years PLUS three hours (for a small plein air painting). Over 20 years PLUS a week (for a studio painting).

What does "giclée" mean?
It means an inkjet reproduction of an artwork. Mine are done with archival inks on artist quality paper or canvas, and they are limited in their edition size, meaning if I say it's 3/250, that means the third one of a possible number ever in the whole world of 250. I include a certificate of authenticity with each one.

Aren't you lucky to be so talented?
Actually it's been more of a mixed blessing. LOL. The idea of "1% inspiration and 99% perspiration" applies.

Where do you get your ideas?
They are always floating around in the ether for anyone to grab, and I just act on them.

Want to hear my great idea for a painting?
Well...actually I have so many ideas of my own already I don't have time to paint them all. But if it's an idea for a commissioned work, then let's talk!

What is that a painting of?
I love when you ask me this question, as it usually comes up when I'm standing AT La Jolla Cove, and my painting is OF La Jolla Cove. Tee hee.
