Avalon Restaurant
Weston was the oldest settlement in the Platte Purchase of 1836 and was therefore also the farthest western settlement (thus, "West Town") in the United States until the admission of Texas as a state in 1845. Weston was, at one time, the second largest port on the Missouri River, surpassing both Kansas City and St.Louis. A flood in 1881 shifted the river into an old channel some two miles away. In 1850, over 265 steamboats a year docked at the Port of Weston to load tobacco onto steam ships and paddle boats to St. Louis. Weston is the home of McCormick Distilling Company, producers of a large number of liquors, it was founded in 1856, and is the oldest whiskey distillery west of the Mississippi River and the oldest continuously operated distillery in the United States.This is a view down Main St. the white house on the left is the Avalon Restaurant. At the end of the street at the bottom is where the Missouri River once was.

I am a story teller using visual images. I paint what has been a part of my life. It can be something I have experienced, things Ihave noticed that others haven't, or locations i have visited. My art has been described as living somewhere between reality and expression, contemporary and realism. Sometimes I paint fast and without a duplicated procedure. My paintings evolve constantly, changing in form, technique and color; some ending with a pure impression and others more defined. The manipulation of shape and textures is an on-going process and shapes my work into a personal style with a universally recognizable talent to create signature art. I was educated in the Armin Hoffman "Swiss Style" program of visual expression in the relationships of point, line, and shape. That discipline became the structure of self evaluation. An artist has to know themselves and be true to their unique capabilities. I am an extemporaneous painter with painting as the adventure of exploration. Art critics and judges looking at my body of work have described my art work as such: " I quickly really connected to the visual style of your paintings, creating a very impressionistic look on American Life. I love the everyday attitude to your subjects, representing figures, landscapes, and still life images through such a perspective that makes these images feel as if they are already a part of the daily lives of the viewer. Your paintings translate a very resonant feeling of nostalgia, making the viewer feel connected to something so familiar, yet distant, and almost unattainable. Your art conveys such a strong sense of space, stripping away so much real world context that we are all so heavily exposed to, and transporting the viewer into this world within the frame, where everything feels so much simpler and peaceful. I found your art to be an incredibly refreshing experience, as a viewer. It so successfully creates a sense of space and mood, emotionally moving the viewer into the world of the painting, and filling them with nostalgia, and a sense of peace. " Charlie Kassabian, RAW
