Many of you know that I took up painting while an active diplomat and that I have pursued painting in retirement, especially during stints as a retired ambassador serving with the U.S. Mission to the United Nations, during the annual fall UN General Assembly sessions. With encouragement from many of you, and indispensable technical help from our son Matt, I have now taken a new step forward with today's launch of my "Art of Diplomacy" website.
The website presents a number of my paintings, divided into six categories: abstract, animals, horizons, people, scapes (land, sea, and city), and still lifes. I hope you'll take a look, enjoy the paintings and share the website with your friends who might be interested. The site will be updated with new paintings periodically, and I'll be sending update e-mails a few times a year to alert people when I do; you can subscribe to these updates here. If you are interested in any of the paintings, please don't hesitate to contact me.
For those of you on social media networks, you can also follow me on a variety of platforms:
Thanks and enjoy!
