Introduction




I wanted to say hello & introduce myself. I have been burning up my eyes reading all the informative posts for about a week now. There are some wonderful artists and great tips here.

I have been a full-time artist for about 16 years now. I paint in oil, acrylic & liquid acrylic. By far, portraits are my favorite subjects. I also paint landscapes, still lifes, florals, etc.

At present my family & I live in Uvalde, Texas. I have a studio on the downtown square here that is open to the public. I hang some of my work there along with a few pieces by other local artists. It's a wonderful space that used to be a bar with the old western bordello upstairs. I also give lessons - this summer it is little kids summer art camp (my children begged for it). I do not have too much walk-in traffic (maybe 5-10 people per day) so I can paint undisturbed most days. I have had this place since January of this year and it's been heaven.

I am looking forward to getting some of my paintings in the critique section to make use of the wealth of knowledge here. I spend my days painting and conversing with potential clients. I do not know too many other artists - just being able to let my guard down and admit I might need help with a certain area is going to be very liberating. Thank you & nice to meet you all!

The piece I am trying to attach is called
"NH Couple", oil, 20" x 24".

I am not sure I have the pixel thing down yet.
