"When I paint a Lighthouse, I just Cut and Paste!"
The Cape Arago Lighthouse...Charleston Oregon
A.K.A. Charles of Charleston ...         Trained at the
Pennsyvania Academy of the Fine Arts in 1956-1960
     I rarely painted in my San Francisco room, preferring to roam the streets with a sketchbook and a canvas stool. Battling the wind,sun and mosquitos was endured for the many fine serendipities encountered with the people watching me paint.
