Landscapes Are Portraits of the Earth

While I was in NC in January 2015 I had lunch with my mentor and the person responsible for my going to college Dr. Ray Kuhn. Dr. Kuhn hired me for my first job after high school graduation and no college plans. After a week on the job he invited me to his office to get to know me asking my interests and hobbies. When I told him I liked painting he asked to see my work and bought the piece I brought in the next day. He asked, "Why aren't you in college?" This question was the start of my journey as an artist. He bought this painting I completed during college in the early 1980s. I was a fan of Andrew Wyeth and Bob Timberlake.
