"Lenny, a self-taught painter, has had an interest in art since childhood.  He has been painting and exhibiting full time for more than a decade.  Lenny’s experimentation with different styles and media create paintings with his own distinctive style.  His subject matter might rightfully be described as eclectic, including landscapes (real and imaginary), "portraits" (mostly imaginary-some real), still lifes, and anything that strikes a cord in his artistic sense.  Lenny's painting technique varies from brush to palette knife, but most frequently consists of oil painted forward on a colored background."
