I
began working with oils over thirty years ago, attending classes once a
week throughout the years. I spent fourteen years studying with
Marshall Drew – a local artist and photographer. Marshall taught me how
to mix paint and watched me experiment and
After Marshall passed away, I worked on my own for awhile, but missed the camaraderie of class and an expert’s opinion. I found that person in Bob Kozora – a renowned New England artist whose works are seen in many galleries, as well as homes and offices. Bob has helped me refine my work, and I am indebted to him for all of the hours spent molding me into a better artist. I consider myself a contemporary realist, but stray once in awhile to semi-abstract as portrayed in the “Piano Man”. I work mainly from photos and love to create a mood with my paintings. As Bob and I recently discussed, an artist never stops learning – there is always room for improvement, and for taking on a new challenge. I have done many paintings for people of their favorite vacation spots, or family home. If you like my work, and feel you would like an oil of a treasured photo, please give me a call at 401-377-2958. Or e-mail me at kprp4546@cox.net

that some grapes I was painting looked like “fish eggs”. I wasn’t
insulted – he was right, and with practice, I believe my still lifes
have greatly improved.
