Mona and I Painting

I am a native of Atlanta, GA. and married to a lovely and beautiful wife with three children, all girls. I have been drawing or painting, since I was 7yrs old. I have had two years of formal training; but I really consider myself to be self-taught. Most of my work are commissioned portraits of some special interest paintings. The mediums that I am comfortable using are oils, acrylics, pastels and pencils. I have tried pen and ink over a wash. My subjects matter and medium are varied because I love trying new things when it comes to my art. My purpose is to open up as many eyes and minds as possible to the world of art. To show how art itself can be as stimulating as a jog through the park. This objective is made more attainable through the expansive, yet diverse, subject matter and painting style in which I choose to work. I do not limit myself to either or; but choose to explore the vastness of creativity.
