# About me
I have been an artist just a short time starting with my retirement from the furniture business ten years ago. Before that I was a teacher in West Bend, Wisconsin. Shortly after marrying my wife Jovita, I came to live in Xalapa, Veracruz, MΓ©xico where I now live and have lived for over 40 years. I love painting in Pastel. It is a wonderful way to keep my mind off the terrible things we see in the news.# Comments

Thanks for the fave (a pastel of Ian McShane). I agree about painting being a great way to keep one's mind off of the troubles that exist in the world. Unfortunately there's a political junky stuck inside me, as well as an artist, so reality intrudes sometimes and brings me back down to earth. Enjoy your retirement and keep painting.
