Destin Dunes
Pastel

     Learning to see the world as a painter has been a goal of mine for a long time.  Retirement gave me the opportunity to pursue that goal.  Since May 2009 I’ve been on one of the most intriguing and satisfying learning journeys of my life.   In 2010 I began showing and selling my work.  Knowing that others are enjoying my creations is a real blessing.  In addition to the galleries and shows listed below, my paintings have been hung in several local establishments throughout the year courtesy of agreements between the KAAA and local businesses/organizations.
