Introduction
The links to images at the left
represent a mere sample of work going back to about 1967. They
break down into four major types, B&W fine prints, mostly
from 2-1/4 inch square negatives, Nature Close Up, from 35 mm
color slide and digital images, abstract Color Transformations,
and more recently, acrylic and airbrush paintings. A few are from
35 mm B&W negatives. I've turned to digital photography, working
through a succession of 1.3, 1.5, 3.2 and 5 megapixel cameras.
Compared to film, the digital cameras have much less than stellar
quality, but are considerably cheaper to use. And the digital
images are easier to get into Adobe PhotoShop(tm) to modify and
improve. More recently, I've started experimenting with airbrushing,
and acrylic and fabric paint on paper and tee shirts. See the
Small Works on Paper at the left. Note that the more recent work
has been optimized for a widescreen display, 1440x900.
All of these images are available
for licensing, at industry rates. Contact
or
and make an offer. A small percentage
of gross sales will be appreciated. I will entertain offers of
representation from legitimate and experienced agents, who have
references (also see below).
Briefly, the links go to:

- Pencil Drawings for Stained Glass &
Other Works, the first of a set of about 180 one inch pencil
drawings completed in Sept & Oct 2010, for application to
stained glass, costume jewelry (necklace pendant, broach or tiara)
iron wall art, chandeliers, leather or wood engraving, tee shirt
designs, print apparel designs, pinstripes, stencils, and possibly
tattoos. Some examples rendered in PhotoShop (tm) are given for
stained glass and costume jewelry. A local Tulsa stained glass
studio has first refusal on the requests for stained glass work,
with a special introductory offer from Feb 1 to July 31, 2011.
Other applications are still open to licensing.
- Small works on paper, page-sized experiments
with acrylic and fabric paints, using bristle and air brushes

- These works come from manipulating x-ray
images of the Artist's bones, resulting from injuries suffered
in a collision with a drinking driver. "Contention"
comes from the refusal of hospital medical authorities in that
time and place, Summer 1985 in Northwest Arkansas, to provide
full palliative care.

Notice to solicitors - Kindly
do not contact me, especially with offers for better web site
design. Nor am I interested in alleged representation which requires
me to buy pages on another web site, showing a paltry number of
images for more than this site costs. I've been working on this
site since 1998, adding over 800 pages and 1300 images (with thumbnails),
with Adobe PageMill 3.0. It suits me just fine.
