This show can be considered a "retrospective" in the sense there will be a number of paintings from several periods in my career.

Some works are brand new and some were done over 20 years ago. The paintings are what I would call "classic" as they represent my vision of Kansas in a very traditional and realistic way. Many of these paintings have been in storage and will be exhibited for the first time. All will be for sale and will include prairie fire, barns, the Flint Hills and rural scenes. I am excited to have this opportunity to share my work both old and new.
