 Rather than subjugate your fine senses to another life story, know this I have a great life. I love every second that I have spent on this grand, glorious existence and have been endowed by my creator to realize I matter, as does everyone and everything else in the world.
I have also been given a deep love and appreciation for the arts. This creative nature of this being called man can truly express ideas beyond their normal animal existence to a temporal world, which can be created from the very inner reaches of the soul. This is not to say that there is not another creature in the universe of universes that would not have the same drives or creative nature. As far as we know, since the days of Homo erectus and Homo neanderthalensis, we have plodded to tell the story of our life through our arts. Expressing our imaginations to dream the impossible and actually achieve those dreams within this subtle reality, which no other creature that we are aware of on this earth has been able to do.
Why I started doing art later in life is no mystery to me. I think it’s just the fear factor over whelmed my senses about being critiqued or having someone dissect something I might do with a fine tooth comb. Needless to say after years of putting it off, my wife inspired me to do what has become basically a love affair with photography,painting and drawing. Maybe I should have warned her about my obsessive-compulsive nature and then again after 22 years of marriage, three kids and a whole lot of love I think she is probably more aware of it than I am at times.
I have often enjoyed reading books about famous artist, like Titian, Vermeer, Leonardo DaVinci and modern day artist such as Boris Vajello, Frank Frazetta, and Loius Royo. As a matter of fact all of these people inspire me in the way they were and still are capturing the human form. The beauty of the women, the emotions that projects themselves through their art work, the drive to perfect their techniques and the apparent love of creating emotes from each of the paintings.
The human form, whether in real life or fantasy, holds an endearing beauty that supercedes anything I have ever experienced. This love and appreciation that the Creator of life itself should establish such an intrinsic beauty and leave us to view upon such a moment in time as an artist. Although the true beauty can never be fully captured, the successive nature of trying apply this beauty to a medium of some sort brings a newness and an excitement that can be rarely described, but only felt inside the heart.
My disappointment in life will be that I did not start a serious study of art until I was forty three and not knowing how long we have on this earth the time-span to master my artwork is some what limited. I hope someday to make a partial living with my artwork, at the very minimum, but till then I will be setting up my style of Art.
Some of my goals in Figurartive Fine arts and Portraits arts is a chance to study the many ethnic groups, the variations on skin tone and body structure. I wish there was the time, money to do my own personal studies, and Lord willing it might happen someday. Yet squeezing in time between my work as a computer programmer and a martial arts instructor only gives me a couple of hours a day, and I try to use those hours wisely.
I do find it extremely difficult living in a rural community to find people willing to model as I need to have done, but the sheer Victorian and religious nature that precludes any belief or system for many individuals to sit in on a session limiting the very pallet upon which I can create my art. The apparent fact that art is not widely appreciated around here around the anything but landscapes and “Bob Ross” styles, which seem to flourish with abundant nature like grass growing on the lawn, and thus makes it hard to have people completely understand the nature of a figure artist.
My serious nature to focus on Art is very consuming and something I have really enjoyed sharing with those that have helped me or support me. My hope is that I can bring others to enjoy art as much as I do and see the very beauty that places itself upon emotional high that I feel when doing my art.
Anyway…. Enough of my rambling enjoy the site. Contact me if you want paintings, pastel, photography or art of some type done.
Thanks
