Root Nature

Transcendental Realism is a term used by the artist for the richly complex, vividly colorful and organic imagery you see on this site.

The stunningly real and yet unworldly quality of this artwork is the outcome of over two decades of intense research and experimentation by the artist in watercolor and acrylic media. The paintings have extremely fine detail -- even under a magnifying glass -- and yet there is no evidence of brush strokes. The artist considers Nature as the Supreme Artist and himself as a mere vehicle of Her profound and mysterious expression. He considers his techniques as in effect a Magical Photolab in which he captures the exquisite intricacies of Nature's dance.

Exquisite Intricacies

Fantasmagoria is a 25"x17" acrylic painting by the artist. The three details are all from Fantasmagoria. Detail 1 is 1 1/2 inches wide. The other two details are at the same scale as Detail 1. In these examples you can appreciate that the technique used by the artist does not entail individual brush strokes. Rather, the techniques used to create Fantasmagoria are the result of decades of research and experimentation. These details are illustrations of "the exquisite intricacies of Nature's dance".
