Very nice artist site (from another artist).. well-designed and laid out blog.. I'll return often to see more..
Good if you like traditional art based on nature, no abstract expressionist angst here! Meditational and spiritual..

Your paintings are GORGEOUS. If I painted I would love to paint water/cloud and forest paintings like this. I fell in love with WHISPERS OF AUTUMN and DEEP IN THE FOREST. Bless you for such beatuiful work.
