Viewing
This site is best viewed with at least a 56K modem, preferably a DSL, Satellite or Cable connection with at minimum a 1024 x 768, 24 bit display. Most of the images will download in a reasonable amount of time, even with a slow connection. I have done my best to compress images to a reasonable point without limiting their ability to display the artwork properly. Rather than provide the tiny thumbnail images so prevalent on other art sites, I have opted to use larger images instead. The largest images will of course take a lot longer to appear on the screen but I feel that to compromise my work with inadequate images would be unacceptable. Thank you for your understanding.
Most of the smaller images are linked to larger ones. After viewing the larger image, please use your browser's BACK button to return to the smaller image.
Creation
The site was created using Adobe PageMill 3.0. The graphics were edited using Adobe Photoshop 6.0.1 and Adobe ImageReady 3.0. Images of paintings are a combination of direct scans from a flatbed scanner (please refer to the Technical Page) and scans of 35mm transparencies using a Canon FS 2710 film scanner. Every effort has been made to ensure that the colors of each work have been represented correctly. However, in some instances the transparencies used did not accurately represent the true colors of the finished works due to problems of lighting and color reciprocity of films used. In almost all cases those paintings have long ago been sold and are no longer available to the artist for purposes of reproduction.
Later works have been photographed with Kodachrome 40 Type A film using 3400K photo lamps with exposures calculated to correctly record the Kodak 18% reflectance Neutral Density Test Card under balanced studio lighting. Some earlier works were photographed using Agfachrome film which tended to give an overall sepia color cast to the images which was not evident in the finished paintings.
Monitor Calibration
Viewers are advised to do their best to correctly calibrate their monitor for optimum viewing. Macintosh users can easily do so by using the calibration function under Color in the Monitors control panel. There are many more sophisticated methods of calibration and many web sites devoted to it. At any rate, proper calibration will go a long way to providing a more enjoyable viewing experience.
PC users should note that this site is maintained with a Mac and therefore for the images to display with the proper contrast and brightness you should adjust your display to gamma 1.8 rather than gamma 2.2.
