I am a retired staff/freelance advertising Creative Director/Copywriter who in the summer of 2012 discovered a modicum of artistic ability. I joined GVA in 2013. With a household full of art supplies my wife and daughter had accrued I tried all media. Graphite and I got along nicely and I've enjoyed doing charcoal portraits as well. Some ink and watercolor work wasn't awful. I've tried pastel but I'll pass. I like the process of oil painting but results vary greatly. Lately I’ve taken to doing digital portraits on my iPad. During ArtPrize Nine I displayed a photograph and it sold. How fun was that! I went back into my photo archives and added some of my favorites you're about to see. My personal website is linked to Pixels.com where you can see and shop my favorite photos, paintings and drawings. Thanks for listening.
