Gallery Signage

This poster hung in Dick's painting studio which was located in the basement of our tri-level house in Pacific Palisades. It was cold and damp and often flooded during rainy periods.

Artist In Studio

I can't remember my father sporting a tie while paint, but I was the youngest and styles became more relaxed as the sixties gave way to the seventies...

Brochure Centerfold Enlargment

This enlargement shows a crowded market place with many figures. I envision Olvera Street in Los Angeles as it may have appeared in the late 1800's

Early Brochure

This brochure probably dates from the mid to late sixties. Notice the pipe and that he used Richard instead of Dick. His career with the Hallmark  was still in full swing. Dick painted in the evenings when ever possible and on weekends as free time allotted.

Selling Like Hotcakes!

The Boathouse Has Come Home

The Boathouse was used numerous time in Dick's brochures. Recently it was purchased as a Christmas gift for my daughter, Marcella by her husband David.

Discovered On ebay

A friend from California alerted me that one of my fathers paintings was up for bid on ebay. After a quick search I located it. A desert wash scene somewhere in Indio or Palm Desert, California. Dick often ventured to the desert to paint and occasionally I would accompany him.
