"Knowledge is Power" is an example of a painting that
evolved slowly. From concept to finished work took four years, simply because I couldn't decide on
an appropriate background. Originally, the viewer was going to be looking out, along with the young robin, through
the cracked glass of an old farmhouse window but I couldn't find the appropriate house or window. A few other ideas I
thought might work were eventually disposed of. A fortuitous acquisition, however, of an Arts & Crafts
bookcase and its subsequent filling of older books, including those dealing with natural history subjects was the
catalyst that led to what you see. This original is now available as a signed and numbered
Limited Edition Print. Edition size: 95. Please see Limited Edition Print Page for details.

The idea for "BLESSED ARE THE DOUGH MAKERS" came from an early 19th
century breadboard that I had admired for many years in a friend's kitchen. It begged to be painted! Drawing upon the
history of 19th and 20th century American trompe l'oeil painters, I thought it was time to try my hand at portraying U.S.
currency along with a more modern twist and a little humor. I can now appreciate the time involved in portraying the work
of master engravers in the U.S. Treasury Department.
