I have always loved to draw. I was trained as a traditional artist, by my father, who was an incredible artist and sculpture. I started learning to draw before I could read. After, leaving home I moved around a lot. So painting was impractical and I could only afford colored pencils and ball point pens. After many adventures, I settled down had wonderful children, raised fancy pigeons, and got a computer.
I purchased the computer with the idea that I would scan my artwork into it and make prints. What happen was, I received a free copy of Adobe’s Photo Deluxe 2.0 with my scanner. I started out editing my work and before long I learned the basic tools and started painting directly with the program. Now over 30 years and many up grades later, I’m still at it.
My large detailed works take years to complete. I tend to work on more than one picture at a time. Because, I will be working on one picture, when I get an idea that just has to be started. I’ve reached a time in my life to where I have lots of these partially done projects. I will be releasing them as I complete them.
