Whenever I'm not painting, I have a variety of interests to distract me, including travel, wine, cigars and music.
Some of my favorite distractions are revealed below.

I enjoy smoking a fine cigar whenever the opportunity presents itself. One of my favorite cigar sites is Gerard .

Jay Leno is one of the more well known car guys who likes my work, which is displayed in both his office and his garage.

During the course of the 8th annual Cavallino Ferrari Classic, my wife and I
enjoyed the opportunity to spend an entire day at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump's
fabulous 20-acre estate in Palm Beach, Florida. To find out more about the
Cavallino Ferrari Classic, visit Cavallino.

		Jethro Tull has been one of my favorite bands since 1970. To this day they still record and tour on a regular basis. Both Ian Anderson, the founder and frontman, and Martin Barre, guitarist extraodinaire, have released solo work as well. Their official site can be found at: Jethro Tull

In addition to automotive artwork, I occasionally paint other subjects as a means of distraction and relaxation. The style is completely different and much more free-form than the tight, time consuming realism of my automotive work. If you like them, let me know. Enjoy.
