I began painting relatively late in life. My journey began in 1997 at the age of 50 when I happened upon the Joy of Painting, hosted by Bob Ross. I was fascinated by the 'wet-on-wet' style of painting and the fact that I didn't have to learn to draw in order to create landscape works of art that seem to just grow out of the canvas as the paint is applied. Please enjoy these samples of my work and if you'd like a custom piece done for you drop me a line at thermopile@msn.com with a photo or description of what you'd like.more
