Turhan Von Brandon (Terry)

I try to create images that draw the viewer in, begins a dialog, or asks a visual question. You will either like, dislike, or question my images. The images that I create are only half the story. The viewer completes the story by what the viewer brings to the image. I am now creating paintings by converting photographs to abstract impressionistic and/or expressionist images.
