Afton Villa Oak, St. Francisville, LA - Limited Edition of 25 Photograph

The skills I've learned as an analog film and digital photographer and advertising creative director are all utilized in my work. My early influences were large-format black-and-white photographers of the California Central Coast and the impressionistic landscape painters of the 1900s. My Southwest images begin as black-and-white photographs, from both negative and infrared digital images. I "abstract" the images and then paint them, using multiple thin layers of oil paint. Larger sizes are available by commission.
