I have been painting part-time for the last 30 years. Since retirement, I have been able to dedicate more time to this endeavor. I began as a self-taught artist and wanted to continue a legacy within my family of painters and artists. Through classes at Rice University and practice, I hope to continue increasing my artistic skills as I develop future paintings. I try to keep four words in mind when creating paintings: Nature, Color, Humor, and Fantasy.'My wish would be that my paintings bring a smile to those who view them'Travis Walkermore
