Becoming An Artist

...Studio Notes...
I didn't know that I would become an artist and it has been a long road, but I have enjoyed every art class, workshop, and instructors all along the way.
Since I worked in office administration for many years I did not dream that I would be doing art full time later in my life.
I have come a long way and I have had some challenges but I have accomplished everything that I set out to do with the help of God. The most difficult art work that I have completed was "The Last Supper" which was a commissioned painting and a reproduction. I have completed commissoned paintings in the past but never anything as big as the 36x24 canvas done in oil. The commissioned work I have done in the past were dog portraits, landscape of old homesteads, and I have done portraits of family members.
I enjoy being out in nature taking photos as well as coming home and putting on canvas what I enjoyed while being outside in this beautiful world God has created. With all the natural wonders of the world there are always something beautiful to paint.
