Paintings

I have always been a fan of the artist Bob Ross and his style of painting. I also like artists Wilson Bickford, Jerry, Yarnell, and Kevin Hill. After the wife and I took a Wine & Painting class I enjoyed it so much that I started painting. My most recent paintings are listed at the top with older paintings after that.

This is the first painting that I’ve done in over a year since my wife had a stroke. It’s based on Wilson Bickford’s “Evening Choir Practice”.

When artist Kevin Hill came to Florida I attended his multi-day class which I greatly enjoyed and learned a great deal. This is my first tropical scene based on Kevin's work.
