Exaggerated use of color and perspectives add to the drama of the paintings.

His main areas of interest:

Old transportation related items: old cars, trucks, trains, bicycles,
trolleys, etc. and presenting them in a new light.

Architectural subjects: historic buildings, homes, and similiar structures

angles and lighting conditions
