Lately I have been working for a customer in Davie, Florida, Jimmie's Chocolates, on restoring weather-worn Lion Sculptures. As you can see in the pictures below, I am breathing new life into these regal sculptures by giving them a new 'marble' finish. Do you or someone you know in the South Florida area need decorative restoration work done by a Master Artist? If so, send me a note through my website CONTACT page. I look forward to bringing restoration dreams to life. 😃

After recently having completed cataracts surgery in both eyes, I find that the new crystal clear lenses I am looking through give me a more "cool" bluing effect on what I can now see! Examining my artworks from the 1970's, 80's and newer made me realize that touch-up improvements were in order for some of my portrait paintings.
Today I began that process with Lady Sofia, Sir Lindsey and others at TRAX Art Studios in Oakland Park, Florida, where I currently have an exhibit of my artwork up until July 10th, 2016. Call the studio to set up an appointment to stop by and see a selection of my portraits, landscapes, shells, and illustrations. 954-368-2294
On January 16 & 17, 2016, I was honored to be an exhibitor at the 51st Annual Broward Shell Show in Pompano Beach, Florida. I've had a fascination with shells since being introduced to some exotics in NYC in the 1960's and have had a passion for painting them ever since!
First Place for Professional Artist Painting of Shells at the Broward Shell Show!

Thank you to all who stopped by my table during the event, and especially to those of you who bought my 2016 calendars, original artworks and prints! More copies of prints and my 2016 SHELLS paintings calendar are available for purchase in my online store by clicking HERE.
I couldn't help myself and bought some exotic sea urchin and abalone shells at the show! Go to my Newsletter subscription page HERE if you want to receive an email as paintings of these become available. Enjoy some shell pictures from the show below. :D
Last week I was in Key West, Florida, making repairs to a large mural of Carlos Manuel deCespedes at the San Carlos Institute. I originally painted this mural in 1978 and it was a pleasure to bring it back to it's original beauty. A big Thank You to all involved in having me back for this restoration!
