Hi! If you are reading this I am happy that I've done something to attract you to my Biography. I started painting in the late 70's but would paint typically 2 or so paintings a year. I experimented with everything from portraits to nudes to landscapes. But I was a Rambler, AND I was a gambler and an adventurer who suddenly found himself far from his Canadian home and Married with Children and living and starting a career in the corp. world in the mid 80's.
My oil paints and brushes and tools went into a box and wasn't opened again for almost 20 years in late 2007. They had all melted together from years in 100+ degree garage heat and rendered useless other than to stir up old emotions
So I restocked. I had a vision to attack the subject of celebrity portraits in basic monochrome and focus on trying to capture the essence of the character. And so I start with a blank canvas and I paint until all I can hear is the artist perform( in the case of the musicians at least ) in my head. Then it's time for another. I can't stop this time. I feel like I need to make up for 20 years.
The kids have grown, the Wife is gone and I intend to take this art thing as far as it will go. Welcome to my new adventure. Please feel free to ride along with me. I will do my best to update often. There will be some pieces off on temporary tangents but I have a thousand artists to pay tribute to and I must stay focused on the intended format for the most part.
Comments are very welcome. Offers to buy are also appreciated. So far my work has fetched from $300 to $900 and originals will vary in size from 16' X 20' to 36' X 48'.
