In completing two of the books, I enjoyed working out of Paris, France, as it had been my favorite city and a central focus in my life. My works include poetic realism written while living there during the sixties. My training as a painter and an art historian was from Paris where Art Quest was begun. Pelletier Chronicles - 500 Years was more recently completed during a sojourn near Tourouvre, France. My writing prior to 2004 isn't displayed on these pages.

       My newest language pursuit has been Spanish. The world of my newer Spanish speaking friends was giving me enjoyment of "todas las Américas", as the cultures of warmer weather become a preference. Sitting under a palm tree with my laptop had been the most ideal of transitions, however, I am now again looking towards diversions that are more European in nature.
      My vocation in the arts is consistently evolving gaining the realizations of both strengths and weaknesses along with a maturity of purpose.

        , for no other reason except as an amusement, my focus will be on learning the Spanish styles of "La Boheme". This by its nature is only recreational. Having enjoyed a limited success with my musical , I now accept my place as a tourist within the ambiance and language of international music, as I consistently redefine my artistic objectives.
        , as I now complete the book "Spacescapes" as both a writer and a painter , I will be using oils as an added medium. Using acrylics has created a limitation for the visual effects, as related to my goals as a painter. I have, of course, enjoyed designing the many gifs. and jpegs. that make up the backgrounds and button links on this site and others.
        , outside impediments have been overcome and my most academic work, , "Straw Man" will finally be published. It will be followed by the novel "Anne and Jean". My writing was a pleasure even with constant editing and the related frustration of being a wordsmith - while searching for messages not yet proclaimed in the writing of others. 
       , future writing projects will be within the contemporary world of screenwriting . In the last few years, film and its associated medium of video and animation has created communication venues  never known before. Stories far too expensive for traditional methodologies may now be personally written for film industry productions, as viable projects 
      , I've now written, composed and painted part time for three years and full time for seven years - yielding seven novels, three books of music, six film scripts and "many" paintings. It's all fun and in this phase of my life, that is surely important. Having redefined a lifestyle, I rarely bother to be mindful of the three decades of my former career.

      Also enjoying exotic views of BC coastal waters, I have been happily sailing between the Gulf of Alaska and the San Juan Islands - with adventure and ambiance at anchor. Designed as a North Sea international cruiser, my "Stella Ducet" is 36 feet and seven tons, with a pilothouse second wheel for those rainy West Coast days. Her consistent home moorage is near Vancouver, BC, at Point Roberts Marina Resort in Washington, USA.
