This web site is dedicated to my family, friends, anyone and everyone who enjoys life and its opportunities.

My life has certainly been eventful and blessed. Born at the end of the great depression and shortly before World War II, I was raised in a family with 6 brothers.

Married secretly at 19 and emigrated "to the land down under". Realised the Aussie dream of owning my own home and raised and educated 4 children, who in turn have blessed with me 6 grandchildren.

Now in my "quiet" retirement I have the opportunity to reflect on my own life and to consider global events. Having missed out on formal education I have resorted more basic communication tools - pictures. Since each picture says 1000 words, painting was to become my mode for expression.

Of course I was not formally trained in art either, but thats just another of life's challenges or opportunities. Hope you enjoy what we have done here and your comments will be most welcome.
