All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.

I recently sat down with the nice folks at DesignTies for a one-on-one interview.  Here are a few questions and answers but please click on the link below to get the whole story.  I think it's worth it !!!

How did you get started with painting?

I was painting when I was very young, but never did anything for years until my wife started buying art online. When the first couple of pieces arrived, I told her I could do this kind of stuff and she  laughed at me. That's all it took. One night while she was at work, I went out and purchased all the necessary material and painted what I consider the first original Matt LeBlanc. I pulled a little prank on her by taking a picture of the painting and placing it in an eBay template and showing it to her. I told her I had found a great painting and that we should buy it. She responded by saying that it was a good idea. The rest is history!!

How do you achieve such great texture in your paintings?

I love texture. I paint with pallet knives and use heavy body paint, which has a very thick buttery consistency. I also use an extra-wide brush to create different effects with the paint.

Have a great summer !!
