As a high school kid in Regina, Saskatchewan, Mr. LaBlonde and Mr. Betteridge were my art teachers. I had only a vague interest in art at that time. I did not flourish in the high school class and produced nothing memorable. Yet, I fancied that someday I would dabble in the visual arts and I chose a wandering path to pursue my interest. It's now fair to say that I have dabbled in the visual arts.
Many of these paintings were created with the spiritual assistance of several apprentices, who happen to be developmentally delayed.
Enjoy the pictures
