This period gave him the opportunity to sketch and paint thousands of people from all walks of life and from throughout the world, as well as paint one of his favorite subjects, the local environment and its characters.

The artist works in an eclectic colloidal manner using abstract detail to create social realistic images. He employs a double primary pallet passed on to him by one of his favorite Masters, Charles Richards.
