About Me
Inspiration
For years, I’ve pursued learning the art of oil painting. I love the works of the Old Masters and began learning by copying some of their most famous paintings. Recently I've transitioned my focus to creating original work. I hope you enjoy it. I currently live in Northwest Arkansas on the edge of the Ozark hills. This is a wonderful part the country. I hope you will visit.
My Medium
I choose oil pigments due to the rich, deep colors they produce and because of the rich, deep history of master painters and the transcendent works they have left to us. I love the interaction of brush, pigment, and mediums to achieve different visual effects on canvas. For me, oils offer the greatest ability to produce perceived depth and contour. When looking at a great painting I feel mesmerized at how these artists were able to produce such incredible imagery with rudimentary tools. I hope to learn enough to create that same feeling for others.
