I spent everyday I could in Europe traveling the museums and hanging with other artists when off duty, gleaning all the tips and techniques I could from them. I have since studied the Master's and their techniques extensively. Modern Masters include, the Wyeth's, Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo. I am formally educated, and intrigued with the very nature of life itself. I play in many pure forms of medium in paint. I am currently studying Oils on flat board and prepared paper, with a textural component, a step wise procedure to maintain my original artistic style. I hope to also offer small drawings done in classical method as time permits.
editI have been blessed to be in large private collections > 50 pieces each, in the US and Europe. "Good, better, best. Never rest until good be better and better best." A quote over the gym lockers in grade school still motivates me today.
I have been painting full time 9 yrs now. As a hobby, I try to enter at least one juried competition a month, many of which are International, and have placed top three many times. These awards are posted on the blog that accompanies each painting on deviantART and EBSQart under "winning entries" and "art of the day". I have been featured in many articles and publications online. Now in print both magazine and book as a writer and artist.
