i went to the University of Alabama at Birmingham from 1980 to 1984 and my major was Art studio minor art History. I have learned to paint while in College, was afraid of paints serious until I took a painting course, then went in all directions to experience many areas surrealism, fauvism, pointalism, cubism, futurism, but always came back to painting realism. Landscapes are my favorite as are dinosaurs. I have done portraiture, but found to please clients to be very disturbing and frustrating at times so I only for a short time went into portraits. Ink drawings and pencil drawings were also a strong intrest of mine.
I detested computer art as a competitor to traditional art and protested for a long time until reciently when I became very interested and started learning how to transform and manipulate art in digital formats.
My last official traditional painting was the Daytona Beach painting I did in 2000. I felt compelled to quit at that time hoping for a sign to start again. Life caused me great difficulties in finance and living conditions which interfered with my continuing art until just recently. I have been on Deviant art for 10 years and finally have gotten the bug to create again. :D
