You Want Me To Do What

Some years ago, we had an indoor cat that we inherited from some friends of our daughter. She was a very unhappy cat. During the time we had her, someone dumped off a little tuxedo kitten who immediately became a fixture in our house. One night when we were lying in bed, 3B, the original indoor cat, was lying on the bed when the "interloper" jumped up and went to sleep next to her. I told her she needed to learn to share. She didn't take it well.

I am a native of Illinois and became interested in drawing and painting in the 8th grade. In 1960, my father worked for the Federal Government and was transferred to Sacramento, California. I lost interest in art when I moved to Sacramento, where I attended high school, graduating in 1965. I moved to Los Angeles, California, after graduating, and attended UCLA.

I eventually moved back to Sacramento, where I worked as a Police Officer in Folsom, CA, and attended Law School. After Law School, I went to work for the District Attorney's office in Yolo County. While there, my interest in art was rekindled and I began drawing and painting again, which I continue to do today. I took several art classes at Sacramento City College and enrolled in the Evolve Artist's Academy to improve my understanding of the fundamentals of drawing, grisaille painting, color, and technique. My concentration in oil painting involves still-life and landscapes of the California central valley and the mountains just miles from my home.
