A Stroll Through My Art Gallery

Attended Fleischer Memorial Art School where I learned Oil painting and had my frist showing.  The still life (Vase) on the left was my first painting and my entry in the schools Art Show.  I enjoyed that so much that I took some art history and  painting courses at college.  Did an acrylic and some drawings and now I'm trying water painting.  My son who is an artist, gave me an easel that I can take to the park or beach with me.

See you there!

My first attempt at oils, at the Fleischer Art Memorial School.

My first attempt at collage

At an art supply show that I attended with my son, I had the good fortune to meet with and take, a brief painting course with Bob Ross.  I did not think I could do this but he marched us through it and although you great artists out there know it's not fine art, it is still something I am proud that I  accomplished through Mr. Ross's patient teaching.  I used to watch him faithfully and wished I could do what he did.  When I came across the opportunity I grabbed it and ran with it.
