Two Firefighters

These firefighters must be "feeling the heat" as the glow of the fire surrounds them with a halo.

Size: 5" x 7" x 1 1/4" Acrylic, Gallery wrap with edges painted. This picture is sold and is already hanging in a home.

This is a part of a group of special order paintings I have been working on for some time. I will be posting them as I have time. I hope you enjoy viewing them.

About Me…

Since the time I was old enough hold a pencil or a brush, I have been drawing and painting. My father owned a printing business so I had all the scrap paper any artist could want. Starting at about seven, I studied with several local artist groups in class settings. I then studied privately with a prominent local artist for about eight years. As an adult, I worked in the printing and graphic design industry, eventually owing my own business. I worked both as a professional and volunteer fire fighter for many years, painting off and on. Being attracted to the bright colored wardrobes, props, and opportunity of working with people, I started to clown about 1978. I went full time in 1992. I wrote the scripts, designed, built and painted the props and staging for over forty different shows. I designed my promotional materials. I also designed and then painted my personal canvas, my face, three to ten times a week. I am now making the transition back to my roots and training, using paint, pallet, and brush to create pictures and wall art. Much of what I am painting is from my life and work experiences. I paint what interests me at the moment. I especially love painting fire scenes in impressionist style. I want you to "feel the heat" when you view the painting! Thanks for looking!
