Hello from Narberth, PA




After discovering this forum about a year ago, and becoming engrossed in the threads of discussion, I finally decided to join and become a participant.

I've been a professional portrait and landscape painter for about 30 years. I taught myself to paint in oils when I was in high school, at a time when representational art was not at all popular. My "self-teaching" is ongoing, and it includes lots of drawing and painting from life, reading about how other artists approach their work, visiting museums, and exchanging critiques with other artists. I put "self-teaching" in quotation marks because really I have learned an incredible amount from others!

I'm looking forward to talking more with other portrait painters. A couple of examples of my work are attached below.
