A highly successful painter of landscapes and native plants in the San Francisco Bay area, Larry is known for presenting modern aspects in composition, paint use, color, and in his personal expression of a carefully selected scene. Larry's rich and colorful paintings prompt the viewer to sense the artist's emotional response to specific images in nature, and to also experience the uplifting, positive feelings associated with fresh air and sunlight.

LARRY'S PERSPECTIVE ...
"Art is about expression and communication. If all is working in top form, an intense relationship appears that excludes all else. The values and hues, the drawing and subject, the day and moment all join up into a totally new entity. This is intense and all-absorbing, a great moment to be alive. During that time a painting also happens and is the footprint of that time.
