Description
Dream Bouquet is from a series of Dream Scapes. For about ten years I have had dreams of paintings I have never seen before. In my dreams these paintings were done by me. When I wake up I can see between five to seven paintings and then minutes later I can only see one or two. I am assuming that because I live to paint I also dream to paint.
I decided to try to put these dream paintings on canvas. The difference between these paintings and my other work is that there are never any dark colors and there is a strong flowing motion throughout the work. Also, there is usually a lot more pale blue than there is in my regular work and the forms are less distinct.
The painting has a sensuous surface and the colors are vibrant.

My paintings have been seen throughout the United States in national, international, and group shows. I have won numerous awards, including awards from Dorothy Gillespie, May Stevens, Frank Webb, and Daniel Greene. My paintings were in two group shows on Broadway and my biography is included in The Original Marquis Who's Who in America.
I taught in the Art Department of Radford University for twenty years as Assistant professor. I taught Art Appreciation, Drawing, Oil Painting, Watercolor painting, Foundations, and served as Gallery Director for one year.
I enjoyed working with Art and Design students. My Art Appreciation course was hands-on and I received many compliments on my course curriculum. Oftentimes I had students that were not enrolled in the class ask me if they could sit in for a class. I have fond memories of those guest students! What a great compliment for me!
My best-selling print, "Reaching Out", was selected from over three million works of art on Fine Art America to be on the set of The Mindy Project and I appeared with my artwork on The Hour of Joy on FoxTV out of Roanoke on March 10th 2013.
I live to paint and it is important to me to find homes for all of my creations. I have originals and prints in thirty-two states,Washington D.C., Canada, Germany, Russia, England, India, Switzerland, and Australia.
I also have paintings in the collection of Hollywood actress Morgan Fairchild.

The color schemes in your paintings, like this one, and your style of painting is delightful.

This painting is so delightfully beautiful and fresh-looking. I absolutely love it! I really like your style. I like your other paintings too! Thanks for the comment about The James River at Dusk. That was painted by my father, Edgar Turner from a photo that I had taken to him. (circa 1985) Shine on, aew
