My teenage bedroom
Early Art "Classroom",
1964.
Here is a picture of my bedroom,
taken when I was 16. Hanging above my bed in this picture
are 3 drawings I did when I was taking a correspondence
course from Art
Instruction Schools. (They didn't have a web site
back then, oh the times have changed)

Dr. Suess and Freinds
This is a b&w photo of a wall
painting that I did in 1973 in my son's room. The painting
covers one entire wall and consists of characters from
my son's books, mostly Dr. Seuss books (Does anyone
remember those?) The small painting in the lower right
corner was done by my son when he was 5 years old...he
is now 39. The wall was done in color, using regular
wall paint

Cookbook
These two drawings I did in
for a cookbook that was published by a nursing
home I worked at in 1976. I did all of the illustrating
for the cookbook, which involved 8 original drawings
for each individual heading.

Class of "66
Composite Portrait
Done in colored pencil in September, 2006
The class of "66 had their
40th reunion in September of 2006. I had only done 2
colored pencil drawings at that time. I decided I would
do a composite drawing of the class, and they could
purchase a copy for $2.00 (I did not make any money
on this project). It took me 60 hours to draw the head
and shoulders of each class member, then it took me
another 60 hours to apply the colored pencil. I took
the original drawings to the reunion and had each one
that was attending sign their name under their picture.
That would become a permanent record of who attended
the 40th reunion. At the 50th or 60th reunion, we might
not be remembering things very well!! I then had the
2 original pages scanned and put together in the composite
that you see here.
