Lookin' Out My Back Door!

This is what I saw "lookin' out my back door" as a child. Every Monday was washday. My mother washed the clothes in the "Maytag" wringer washer. She then dried them the old fashioned way. The only dryers in those days were the Kansas wind and Kansas sunshine.

Acrylic on 4"x5" canvas panel.

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!
