Artist Statement:
There are vivid memories of
the very last of the
steamboats and locomotives
that will remain forever fresh
in my mind. Steamboats
especially, are creations that
one must experience first hand
to appreciate because they go
beyond being simply visual
events; they impact all the
senses. The smell of coal
burning, lubricating oil, heat
and the pressure of vibration
all swirled into a dynamic
force of motion.
When I paint steamboats, I
experience them. The same is
true for sail. I want my
renderings to call out from
the canvas to step aboard and
come along for the ride; to
say this is how it was when
our grandfathers and their
fathers were alive. If those
elements could exist as color

easy but since they do not I
must continue to work hard to
master bringing them alive
with only oil and canvas.
