Paintings from the tactile age of mechanical metal parts that, when assembled properly, made our lives go faster. The whirring sounds and pungent smells of oil and metal produced a comforting soundtrack of that earlier automated era.

All objects represented here are from the personal collection of the artist. All are painted from direct observation. Justification here for collecting is that I need these items not only for my well being but for my work as a painter. These are my models.
