I had a lot of fun painting this piece. I painted this on a RayMar Linen Panel, and I used a photo that my son had taken of an illuminated river boat. Trying to be a bit more "painterly", I used thicker paint, a bit larger brush, and I tried to only suggest the finer details.
"River Boat"....16" x 20" oil on RayMar Linen Panel SOLD
I really enjoy painting more impressionistic paintings of night cityscapes. These RayMar Linen panels are wonderful surfaces upon which to apply oil paint.
I am an artist working in oils and watercolors. I have been painting for over 25 years. I have a BS degree in industrial education, and over 40 years as a color separator in the lithographic trade, where I worked on copy cameras, scanners, and, more recently, in Photoshop, and now I am retired from that vocation. I also taught color theory and application at Arizona State University.
I enjoy painting, and all my subjects are for sale, unless marked "SOLD."
I recently resigned from teaching an oil painting class at a local recreation center, which I did for 9 years, but I still offer private lessons on my glazing technique.
I am a conservative, American, Capitalist sort of an artist, and today we have Donald Trump as President of this United States of America! He is truly the best president I've experienced in my lifetime, and I lived through most of WWII ! Best wishes to our wonderful President, Donald Trump!
