About Me

My photo
I began drawing and painting at a very young age and knew early on that I would choose art for my life. I achieved success early on in high school and college in the arts, but after college, I felt compelled to a career in ministry and have spent many fulfilling years helping others find their purpose in life. Through the years, I continued to paint mostly for enjoyment and as an outlet, but in 2007, I realized that an important part of my own life-purpose was creating and painting. The internet, which of course was not available 25 years ago, is such a useful tool for artist, opening doors and providing exposure that would otherwise not be possible. With this new opportunity, I have been pursuing painting and marketing my art whole heartily, usually painting on a daily basis. I live in Tucson, love to jeep, love to paint and study art, and my paintings are often inspired from some remote mountain location in the high desert.

Home From Jackson - Great Workshop with Jim Wilcox

Wow!  What a week!  I spent the past week in Jackson, Wyoming, at a workshop with Jim Wilcox.  Had a great time, loved watching him paint every day, worked really hard at getting a few "bugs" out of my painting (not real ones like when painting en plein air - this was a studio painting workshop), and now I am processing all the great instruction.  I know it stretches me, humbles me to no end, and I believe it will bring me a step farther along in this art journey.  Here are four 12X16" paintings that I worked on there.  I will modify and amend a few things still... Thank you, Jim, for sharing your skill and patiently helping me along my way.  I will be back for sure! - Jeff
