Fleeting Memories
Oil on canvas

The mystery and grandeur of the oriental culture has influenced western culture since the orient was opened by the Britain and America. As a young naval officer, I first experienced this rich and mysterious land and "fell in love" with the beauty of the land and its people. I painted this still life of a wonderful Chinese prayer doll with the background reflective of a famous painting called "The Tribute Horse". Hopefully the painting evokes the mystery and wonder of a culture which predates western culture by hundreds of years and, at the same time, reflects a beauty which is timeless.

Much has been written about the creative class. We believe creativity is an essential element for business success and more, for life success. It is at the core of who we are and what we do. At ABS, we strive to achieve an ambiance in the workplace which fosters creativity. Our facility was designed with this in mind- from expanse of windows looking out on a small lake teaming with birds and water fowl to an interior filled with paintings. We believe that the work environment is an important factor in motivation.
Creativity in our systems… in our support… in our sales… in short, in every aspect of our corporate life is valued. Equally valued is our involvement in cultural and spiritual activity. We deem these values crucial. So our website includes a gallery of paintings, which are a part of our art collection and links to the galleries of other artists we admire, as well as cultural organizations that daily enrich our lives.
