I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way-things I had no words for.

Oil Painting
Southwestern, native, cowboy
Oil painting has been a passion of mine since I was a child; artist is a trait that runs in my family.
My family felt that my artistic abilities were something special and they greatly encouraged my artistic journey from my grandfather building my first easel to my parents consenting to let me study art at Indiana University, a rather flamboyant and unsteady career choice to them.
Art didn't seem like a choice to me because I couldn't imagine doing anything else.
I was introduced to another world during my summer studies in Florence, Italy during university, the history of oil painting, the techniques and the artistic "Greats."
Art is a lifelong journey for me.
Realism is the technique that I strive for in my work, I relish fine details and feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish a realistic piece of art. I have a wide array of subject matter that interests me, I often fall down the rabbit hole of research that I do to prepare myself for many paintings.
