E has enjoyed art all his life, spending a lot of time as a young boy drawing and doing paint by numbers and other art projects as well. He has taken several in person seminars as well as a bunch of online courses to strengthen his knowledge and ability to improve the visual art experience. Personal study of the master painters of the past is also an ongoing habit for E to continue to bring new ideas using concepts from the past mixed with current experiences. He enjoys and has found a leaning towards both the impressionist styles, Realism, and Cubism. His main medium of focus is Oil paintings, but also does pastels, and to a lesser extent watercolors. E lives in rural central Ohio with his wife, 2 kids, the family dog, and 8 cats. He has done paintings for many years and enjoys bringing to life scenes, objects, and ordinary things in a way to inspire the viewer with hope and joy through taking the ordinary and making them extraordinary through the use of color. Rory I may have more to add to this-or take away. Again any ideas form all youve seen will be most helpful.
