"You're only as good as you want to be"

I always enjoyed looking at paintings but only picked up a brush about 4 years ago. I have read everything I can get my hands on to learn art. I have averaged over a hundred paintings per year many of which I have given away or sold and donated ½ the money to the American Diabetes Association. Yes, I am a Type 1 Diabetic.

Painting is a very private and personal expression for me. I get nervous everytime someone looks at my art work. These expressions are in my head and putting them on canvas is a joy for me. Whether you like or dislike them, if they make you feel something then I have been successful. “Art” should be an emotional experience………enjoy, I hope!
