After a long career as a research physicist, I retired in 2003 after 39 years in the Physics Department at Cornell University.
(Ph.D., Physics, Columbia University, New York, 1963)

Since then I have been catching up on all the painting and music that I missed in all those busy years. Now I take my paints when I travel and have my eye open for subjects large and small everywhere. When the weather is bad, I take photographs from which I work in the studio to finish a painting. This is also necessary to record quickly-shifting light conditions.
Although my work in watercolors has been mainly representational in an expressionist style, I am turning to more abstract work in acrylics, experimenting in brilliant translucent color fields.
