Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;  

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

Covid 19 "studies in confinement"

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

I have been associated

with Art Students League

intermittently for many years

and have worked recently

in oils with Philip Sherrod,

watercolorist Naomi Campbell,

Kenneth McIndoe

​and Ronnie Lanfield.

Over the years, I have pursued many avenues to earn a living, including teaching, working as a chef, and more recently, I worked as a public interest lawyer for 15 years. I currently am able to travel frequently to Italy, where I indulge my love of painting the peerless landscapes, and studying the masterpieces in the peerless museums and churches of Florence and Siena.

The best lack all conviction, ​

Exhibitions

while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

​Inspiration:  "The Second Coming"
William Butler Yeats

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,                 
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere    
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
