This Oil on Canvas "Dog and His Man" is 3'x3', the feeling of David Hockney.  

From the Artist:

I was born and raised in New York City, I lived in San Francisco and am currently a resident of Los Angeles, however I will always be a New Yorker, it's in my blood.

I studied at different times in my life, at the Brooklyn Museum school of art, the Art Students League of New York with George Tooker, Syracuse University, and most recently (to keep up with my drawing creds) at the Los Angeles School of Figurative Art with Richard Morris.
