It was in my late 30's, that my creative self emerged and a strong desire to express myself through painting and photography developed. I characterize my works as realist-impressionist, with a touch of abstraction. I am drawn to deep contrasts - bright light vs.shadow, fire and ice, rocks and flowers, and the primitive. Thank you for viewing my work and I welcome any comments. Many of the descriptions of the art - notably the photographs/locations, and some paintings, are with the help of Wikipedia. Rauno.more
