Early in my career, I was fascinated by intimate descriptions of the human spirit - much in the manner of my artistic heros Titian and Rembrandt.

My Old Watchmaker, painted in oil when I was in my early twenties and just learning my craft, is a tribute to my own passionate commitment to learning the techniques of oil painting. Like the Old Watchmaker, I somehow knew that God lives in the details, and that as scripture affirms, it is good to work well with one's hands.
