The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity.

Otto Dix

4′ x 5′ ink, charcoal and acrylic on canvas 1995

The previous artwork was all created before 1995. “Otto” was the last painting from those years. There was a beautiful exhibit that year. I then felt it was time to concentrate on my “Scenic artist” endeavors, lucky timing.

your kind breath,

soft and low

whisper to me,

your fervent song

For years I have kept some of this artwork more private for a number of reasons, and feel in response to the ever growing drumbeat of the anti openness and anti gay movement, that has changed.
By nature I tend to keep a low profile, events of late have made it clear those days are gone. Now I think it maybe necessary to pronounce my feelings.
