There's No Good War

This is a photo of my Father taken about 1923. He never came home from World War II. I was 18 months old when he was killed. I often wonder what it would have been like to have had a father....

Bistro Near Montmartre

Yesterday I finished this painting of a little bistro near the bottom of Montmartre, Paris. I painted it from a photo I took in the Autumn of 2003. They make a very nice omelet and the vin ordinaire was quite decent. The painting is oil on cotton canvas and measures 14 by 18 inches (35.6 by 45.7cm).

Oil Spill - Requiem For The Gulf


Normally, I don't put links to YouTube here but this is one that I feel should be seen by as many people as possible. I feel as if the world has changed... and not for the better. Please watch this and make sure your sound is on.
