You are an absolute talent...Love your whimsical style. Evokes all sorts of Florida memories for me. Of course I love the Zoe walk, but also the 'Save Me Money' and your flower study. The seashell house is VERY 'old Florida' and I love it. The Doorway is so colorful. It reminds me of 'The Hobbits.' Such a great effort, Neil...and a joy to view...; January 27, 2008 at 7:54 PM

Welcome

I had a good run in the fashion business where Creativity is survival.

When I was flush and could, I sold out to pursue the calling and have been painting daily since

Before that I actually earned a living (thank G-d) raised two well-adjusted children and had a decent social life.

My goal is to paint colourful paintings that have meaning to me, that make me laugh and cry (well mostly laugh). I avoid angst but if it does creep in, it's genuinely exploitive. I live with my wife and my dog - Miss Zoe Waggles - and both still love me.

I enjoy connecting with artists and art lovers worldwide and I welcome your comments.

My format is oils and pastels. I paint from real life, sketches, and photos. I love to watch classic movies and take inspiration from the actors and actresses, from stars to cameo players and especially extras.
