The story of studying art under the 20th century eccentric Andre Andreoli, the world’s foremost painter of 19th Century Dutch romantic landscapes. I was lucky enough to be mentored by him one summer in 1979.

I'm abysmal at perspective.... have studied, practiced it, even taught it, and I can spot it immediately in my students' paintings, but never my own until later. I am and will always be about feelings, color, light, and mood, so much so, that I'll rush to express those while overlooking the most basic of technical elements. Alas! Remember that Cezanne and VanGogh had TERRIBLE perspective in their works too. I'm calling my style fauvism masquerading as realistic impressionism.
