PAINTING GALLERY
After drawing under Maestro Joe Biel for about six months, he encouraged me to paint. Though I did complete a handful of canvases (five to be exact) I did not feel ready to embark on that journey and put painting aside for another year to focus on drawing. Then I hit the ground running with my first plein-air landscape painting entitled, Government Island.
