Dick Francis, one of the best-loved and best-known mystery writers in the world is having his entire collection of mystery stories re-published. Translated into 30 languages and given virtually every award in the industry, Francis’ stories have enchanted readers for decades. Berkley Publishing in New York City has asked me to create the covers for all 23 of these famous books. It has been such a thrill to work with the art directors at Berkley to create just the right images to go with Dick’s amazing narratives. Many of the books using my art for their covers already are in bookstores across the U.S.. Look for them in the mystery section ... and here on my website.

The 2004 poster artwork, “16 Minutes to Post,” depicts a quiet scene in the paddock just before the race at the famous Saratoga Race Track in Saratoga Springs, NY.

This is the 19th in the longest-running series of its kind in racing history. The 2004 Travers poster (and the Saratoga version) will be available after July 10, 2004.

Please look for it on this web site and at selected stores and galleries in Saratoga Springs. See you at the track.

After 30 years of doing it my way, I decided to learn watercolor painting from a master. I am just back from seven days studying with the Australian watercolorist David Taylor, in Chioggia and Venice, Italy. It was challenging, frustrating and so rewarding. The people I met, the techniques I learned and the paintings I attempted are all on line today. I even opened my sketchbook for you. Enjoy.
