Oct 2004_Travelled up to Vermont to paint with Richard Schmid and the Putney Painter group, what a great bunch of people they are, and with my friends Jeremy Lipking and Tony Pro we had a great time, painting in the field next to the School that is keeping the Great Tradition of Classical Realism Alive!....We Also managed to squeeze in a visit to the Met in NYC. We had a great time viewing the Sargent, Benson, Bunker and Other Great 19th Century American Impressionists Work, Go Here to see some pictures of our trip!

Sept 2004..Just finished up work on Jeremy Lipkings New Look Website, www.lipking.com , hope you all enjoy the new look, and let me know of any broken links!
