enjoy selecting subjects from my everyday surroundings. Those
subjects may be naturally occurring, such as landscapes, or resulting
from the actions of people. That sounds a little mystic, but
when you view my photographs I feel you will understand my visual
relationship with those subjects. What is not so mystic are
those photographs of sunsets, sunrises, trees and flowers.
Viewed there, from my mind's eye, is the beauty of our world.
From nature I take only a fraction of a second, but those little
tidbits of time are what I wish to share with others.
Watercolor painting and acrylic
painting are also interests that I enjoy. On this site I have
added some of my acrylic paintings. My watercolor paintings are
of traditional scenes.
I am a native of Kansas. Born
in Dodge City as my parents raised crops and livestock near Kalvesta,
Kansas. As times changed for my parents, we moved to Great Bend
where I grew up enjoying the opportunities and freedoms of a small but
thriving town. I attended Hutchinson Junior College and then Ft.
Hays State University. Before completing my degree from Ft. Hays
I served four years in the Army and at that time, with a great good
fortune, married Kay. I returned to Ft. Hays completing my
undergraduate business degree, but staying on there to attend
graduate art school.
In 1972 I began my career in
public service as an employee of the Kansas Insurance Department.
From 1995 to 2007 I was the Executive Director of the Kansas Health
Care Stabilization Fund. In October of 2007 I retired from pubic
service and began organizing and cataloging my photographs and began
painting on a more regular basis. The activities which evolved in to developing this web site with the
assistance and participation of my older brother John. |

Bob and Kay raised their three
children in Topeka, Kansas. We have eight grandchildren -- two
in Florida, two in Wichita and four in Topeka.
