Richard's Art Adventures

I've been creating art and videos for several decades.  I recently decided to retire from my day job, as public arts manager for the City of Palm Desert, after 7 1/2 yrs. plus 20 yrs. as an art professor, gallery director, art department chair, and director of Exhibits Touring Services at Eastern Washington University, with campuses in Spokane and Cheney, Wa.  Now, I can concentrate on a new series of paintings that I've been toying with for the past several months.  I've done two sets of them using heavily textured surfaces with light shifting and iridescence paints, which change color as you change your orientation to the painting's surface.
