​I love teaching watercolors. Watercolor painting sparks confidence and the challenge of spontaneity. 

I was asked by Dean Case in 2016 , if I would be interested in painting a Sparco Helmet for the SPCA in Monterey called Art for Animals – helmet auction. Speed, Safety, and Art Merge to Benefit the SPCA for Monterey County was a great opportunity to support a very worthy cause. Art for Animals web site is at

The inspiration for the Andy Warhol theme "Mr. Potato Head", came from a 1960's party my wife threw for our our Pastor and the church staff. My wife creates a unique once a year staff appreciation dinner for our church leaders and I decided this years 1960's party needed the iconic Andy Warhol. Mr. Potato Head has an amazing story as the first toy advertised on TV and being the longest running toy in the history of American toys.
