"Easter Angel"
24" X 18 " $350
I live in Waco, Texas. This little angel is my great-niece, Alex, who lives in Colorado. I took several photos of her and used them to compose this painting.
Art has always been the focus of my life. I majored in art in college, first at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and then at Texas Tech in Lubbock, where I earned a Bachelor's Degree. Most of my career was spent designing and producing art for industry. Later, I taught in the art department at Texas State Technical College in Waco and, upon retirement, I taught watercolor classes for seven years in the Continuing Education School at Baylor University. More recently, I taught watercolor classes at The Art Center in Waco, Texas.
I am a member of the Central Texas Watercolor Society in Waco, where I have enjoyed many workshops, taught by both local and national artists. Among the national artists, my favorites have been Polly Hammett, Frank Webb, Cheng Kee Chee, Ken Hosmer and Diane Maxey.
Painting for solo shows keeps me busy. Here are some of the locations:
Studio Gallery, Waco, Texas
The Smith Gallery, Scott & White Hospital, Temple, Texas
Vive Le Arts Performing Arts Center, Killeen, Texas
