I am a retired dentist who took up painting in 1997. I've attended the Visual Arts School in Summit, NJ and the Boca Museum of Art School. I paint in oils and acrylics. I've given up pastels because I can't breathe in the dust any longer. I do landscapes and portraits and anything else that attracts my visual senses. Painting is my joy and has kept me going after I lost my wife and life long companion.
