Retirement and learning new things.
     It all started with coloring with colored pencils. Then I began painting rocks and small canvases. I discovered pebble art, paint pours, larger canvases and many more paint brushes. I also learned that my time would be better spent watching TV.
On a whim I purchased a rotary tool and after using it on everything in sight....... I picked up a little rock!  I didn't see another painted rock, I saw a motorcycle gas tank.
     My "Rock Art" consists of river rocks, aluminum craft wire and sometimes leather. The rocks are cut, carved, drilled,  ground into shape, then painted and glued to a background picture that I  took or created with A.I.  The motorcycles are approximately  9 in long. Each project takes about 2 weeks ot more to complete.
     In October 2025, the "Two Indians" won the 'Best of Show' at the Art of Veterans exhibit in Rancho Cordova, Ca. That was a complete surprise of which I am sincerely grateful.
Thanks to all who have taken the time to appreciate my art.
