From his website:

I graduated with a degree in fine art from the University of Arizona in 1968. I've always been an artist, no matter what else I was involved with in my life. In the army, I would have my tank platoon maneuver together to create large earth drawings similar to crop circles. Designing homes became an exercise in composition, form, and color. Now I paint and try to make beautiful things.

Art is pretty subjective, and people have different triggers for buying art. My paintings are about what gives me a warm response, something I would like to live with, like an old friend I enjoy seeing every day. I think people feel that way about my art, and that is what makes my paintings stand out.
