I use 300lb ultra-heavyweight hot press Arches or Lanaquarelle watercolor paper for all my paintings. This has virtually the consistency of illustration board. Until about 1995 I only used professional watercolors, the kind in tubes. Then I discovered that certain vivid tropical hues are better captured with acrylic paint. Since then my images have been a mixture of the two media, acrylic and watercolor. I use the acrylic paint exactly as I use watercolor -- with water.

I like to work big. My paintings are generally in two sizes: either a half sheet of watercolor paper (approx. 17"x22") or a full sheet (22"x30"). Some originals -- like Imperial Paradise -- are a hybrid size (in this case about 18"x24").

I price my paintings based on their size and the amount of detail they contain. These things take time. I wish I were one of those people who can make a wonderful statement with a few paint strokes, like a sumie-e artist. Most of my images however, are dense with characters of the flora and fauna variety. I also painstakingly research my subject matter to make sure every species is right for the Caribbean, or at least for Florida and the Bahamas. Some of images are priced a little higher because they have received publicity in magazines and on conservation education posters/banners.

All of the items on this list are published works. Prices are subject to change.
