I returned to painting a couple of years ago after an absence of many years. I studied at Chouinard Art Institute under abstract expressionist Richards Rueben in the 1950s. I'm working to make up for lost time and everything seems to be flowing in the right direction now. Many of the paintings displayed on your site gave me confidence that I was going in the right direction. [Thanks, RD]
