Ring in the New Year - 2017


A fresh new year is upon us already. What beautiful sparkling days!
This year brings a solo exhibition of my works at the Zoot Gallery, Bozeman, MT. They scheduled me to exhibit August, September and October. They have a beautiful space/gallery and I can't wait to exhibit there. The space is quite large so I am busy painting, painting, painting. I will fill you in with more details as the time gets closer and I know when the opening reception will be.

His art education was under the Florentine painter, Verrocchio. During his working life he spent years in Milan, Rome, Bologna and Venice. The last years of his life were spent in France.
