In my painting, Gone With The Wind, I wanted to capture this central romance but also give a small taste of the gentile old south. Fragrant flowers and lush rolling hills surround Tara, the homestead of the O'Hara family, and serve as quiet sentinels to this way of life. My painting is populated with favorite film characters and rendered in small cinematic vignettes designed to capture all of the drama and nostalgia of this Hollywood spectacular. I truly hope this painting delights all fans of                            GONE WITH THE WIND™. Beyond this, I pray it reminds us all that true love does exist.

  " Romeo and Juliet. Anthony and Cleopatra. History is filled with couples bound together forever in the social mind because of their undeniable and storied relationships. As it was with these others...so it is with Rhett and Scarlett. Indeed, to me, there has been no greater romance ever chronicled than that of the dashing hero and strong-willed heroine of GONE WITH THE WIND™. Perhaps it is the tragic backdrop of the Civil War that serves to enhance the emotional impact of this storied love affair. The ultimate triumph of the human spirit, so well displayed in the film's masterful conclusion kindles the romantic within me...as it can within you.

Sleeping Beauty is my eighth creation in the Disney Dreams Collection, and is the most lavishly detailed of the series that I have painted to date. My painting is filled with the enchantment of the original story. From the woodcutter’s cottage where Briar Rose was hidden by the three good fairies to the magnificent castle where Princess Aurora would awaken to love’s first kiss…then in the distance we see the climatic fight between the good Prince Phillip and the evil Maleficent in dragon form; I’ve interpreted the entire story in a narrative panorama for all to enjoy. Of course central to the painting, and as testament to the strength of true love, we see the prince and his awakened beauty in each other’s arms as friends great and small gather in celebration of their undying devotion. Whether you are a fan of Sleeping Beauty or simply an unabashed romantic who believes love conquers all, enjoy this painting as my gift to you!

“America’s heritage and character was forged on storied ranches and farmhouses
that dot the plains and foothills of our magnificent country. Everyday, the
ranching and farming families … nature’s caretakers … vest strength and
energy caring for creation while in turn harvesting its bountiful rewards.
As I thought of memorializing the impact of the family farms and ranches across
our country, I imagined a grandfather starting his old reliable tractor early in
the morning surrounded by a cohort of animals oblivious to his chores and
duties. And what a great adventure for any youngster anxious to explore and
leave a mark on granddad’s farm … the tractor, the barn, the animals, trees
and pond … could there be a better heritage afforded by summer … could there
be a better forge for character … not likely!”
