Bio : Having grown up surrounded by art and antiquities no wonder that I would enjoy museums ,art and history. My father was a court Dr for some of the Nurnberg trials.We saw history in the making before settling at Aiken, South Carolina. Aiken offered lots of sunshine ,Southern culture and plenty of outdoor sports,especially anything to do with horses. I learned to ride at Mead Hall. At nine I won my first ribbon in the Hitchcock Woods Show. My parents built a lighted ring on the edge of Hitchcock Woods so my sister Jennifer and I could ride horses with the name of songs Bill Bailey,Tom Dooley, Siboney,and White Christmas night or day. Sis the horse was wanted by two Olympic Teams after her showing at the Garden and the Washington International Horse Show. In my teens my mother put on the first three day horse show in Aiken. There were all kinds of classes and horses,pony fancy turnout,walking,three and five gaited,hunter and open jumping events. As part of the show my mother hired a family with exotic doves and lippizaners to entertain in the Aiken Show and in Augusta for Masters' guests. They wanted me to join them but Mom objected so I didn't get to perform in a circus riding lippizaner horses but did get to attend Ringling School of art. My interest in other cultures and art was also inspired by my parents exploring and locating indian sites along the Savannah River. As a young boy my father dug at the Macon Plateau at what is now known as the Ocmulgee National Monument with A.R Kelly, then of the Smithsonian. No project of comparable magnitude had ever been started or completed in the nation up to that time. Two of my favorite sites are the Etowah Mounds and Stallings Island. An endless array of visiting archeologists stayed and dug with them. William Stiles from the Museum of the North American Indian fixated us with his stays with the Eskimos. Scott Eubanks search for the true Desoto route is still his quest. They dug with Rebekah Burgess of the University of Georgia and Dave Phelps on White's mound . The den was full of potsherds painstakingly glued together by my mother. It was if Indiana Jones was living there. You never knew what you would find arrowheads,pots,bones, guns, old maps, books,a mystery waiting to be solved. My painted silks have some of the same patterns that I remembered from this period. In college luckily I wandered into the wrong building and after seeing an oil painting class in progress decided to try that. I started drawing at five later discovered watercolors but oils were exciting! The colors were alive. Six months later on Hilton Head Island at the Summer School of the Arts I sold my first painting to Charles Fraserand a watercolor to Arthur Gerhard whose collection of old master art included works by Piranesi www.artchive.com/artchive/P/piranesi.html/, Nicolas Poussin www.artchive.com/artchive/P/poussin.html/ Zurbaran and my favorite contemporary SC artist Walter Greer. In the early 70's my gallery affiliations were The Red Piano Gallery Hilton Head, Shore Gallery and Haley and Steele Newberry Street Boston. In the eighties Frances Aronson Gallery in Atlanta www.francesaronsonfineart.net , Arthur Ackerman N.Y. ,Venable Neslage in Washington D.C. and Atelier Seven, Paris France represented me.My work was also exhibited in the White House.

1967-1977

Archaeology : I'm slowly adding letters and photos. Bill Stiles from The Museum of The North American Indian excavated several ? one mound hoping to include a short list of some of the artifacts that went to that museum . As far as I know my parents never designated or named a mound as the Lattimore Mound. That was done by someone else . There is no Lattimore Mound. In 1960 I was 13 and sometimes thought archaeologists occupied my bedroom more than I did . I enjoyed seeing Mr Stiles. Then would not have called him Bill. He always told such interesting stories and had such a different looking car . He drove down in his Volvo . I didn't mind him occupying my bedroom. I always wanted to know when were they going to find the gold . What did I know at thirteen . After seeing the mounds at Etowah thought this is very exciting .

I love painting portraits and hope the process is interesting for everyone involved and for small children fun. That's why it's important for me to know what my clients enjoy. For children Hopelands Garden is inspiring . A wonderful adventure so the child is focused on feeding the ducks and fish as we wander around the gardens while I take the photos. If they like horses, we can go to a stable just down the street and on the way we might see famous thoroughbreds being exercised. Clothes Timeless attire traditional in design will keep your portrait from being dated. Bold prints,trendy clothes ,jewelry, and certain hairstyles will date your portrait. If clothes are too elaborate it detracts form the face and overwhelms the personality.. Clothing should suit the personality. It is important that clothes fit properly. Men's clothing remains fairly simple. Look at the clothes in the paintings of one my favorite 19th century artists Thomas Wilmer Dewing . They are timeless . What will the subject be wearing? Style and Mood What style of painting do you like impressionistic, soft realism, or very realistic? Do you want a casual or formal look? What kind of expression do you want smiling,pensive,or serious? Is the subject shy,thoughtful,or outgoing? what are the subjects favorite hobby,activity, sport? Color and Background What are your favorite colors . What colors do you have in your home. What colors do you want in this painting. The colors for the painting have to be something that they are wearing or in the background for the photograhy session. What kind of background do you want? The background sets the atmosphere of the painting and should work in harmony with the pose and expression of the subject. Procedure The lenght of time it takes to paint the portrait will vary from 2to 12 months. Phone or in person appointments are required before I can book you for a photography session. I need to know all the details of the portrait before I can block out time on my schedule. A nonrefundable retainer fee $500 is required before the photography session. The day of the photography session half of the projected fee of the portrait is due minus the retainer fee. After the photographs are taken if there is a change in the portrait goal then you will be reimbursed or the difference will be added to the final cost . A contract will be signed . During the photography session there should be no distractions for the subject. The amount of time I will need for photography will vary once in the morning and then we can go over the photos and if need be an afternoon session . I will use one photo as reference. After the portrait is finished I will be happy to change aspects of the portrait but if the changes deviates greatly from the goal and the signed contract this will add to the cost. The portrait suggestions are there to help you realize our goal,to create a lasting remembrance . Framing,shipping and taxes where applicable are not included in the fee.
