Sir Winston & Lady Chatterly

Birth of Fleagle...ism

I worked as a medical illustrator for the Univ. of Florida, and then switched to graphic designer in the electonic field for the next 24 years.

I was enthralled with photojournalism, after winning a "trip to Paris" photo contest. I turned professional and left the work world, to travel and photograph Europe in the RV we took with us on a freighter.

Three years later, strapped on a stretcher, flying back to Houston, I decided to trade in my camera for a paintbrush and capture photojournalism on watercolor paper. I joined WAS-H, (Watercolor Art Society of Houston), took all the available workshops, classes, figure labs, private teachers, here in Houston and in San Miguel MX.

I have found a new love, drawing from live models, using the blind contour method (drawing without looking at the paper), single line drawing, creating my own paintingjouralism called Fleagle...ism. My favorite artists are Salvador Dali, I visited his studio/home at Port Lligat, and Marc Chagall. Egon Schiele, Gustay Klimt, and Alice Neel have been suggested by numerous teachers as reference sources for my style. Klimt and Neel, I like, Schiele, well, what can I say?
