Painting and creating art has always been a huge part of my life. From a young child with pads of typing paper to the present ... an older experienced dude with pads of watercolor paper. My entire work life was as a commercial artist at all levels of the pecking order.
I was born and partially raised on a farm and a small town.
Midwest roots except the winters seem to be colder these days. I'm a family guy with kids and grandkids.
Unfortunately I can be quite the procrastinator. Retirement does have it's drawbacks, but I can live with that one.
Thanks for stopping by and showing interest in my blog.
Beautiful color choices, Doug. You could quit right here and I would want this painting. You have already very successfully suggested the sand and water - it feels like a quiet abandoned beach to me. Beautiful.
I love it but this just illustrates something I often feel about my own work if it doesn't meet MY EXPECTATIONS. I see flaws or failure where others see a beautiful painting.
Always appreciate your encouraging comments. This is an emerging style..lets see how it goes, all comes from a n origional linocut print. Work From Home
