Oil portraits and figures

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration at the sharp edge of emotion.

What would you do with $25,000?

I could really use the prize money. I'd make changes to my property to allow for better ability to teach and share what I've learned. I tend to gift more than I bring in, and it's been over two decades working full time as an oil painter (originals only. No reproductions)-- and walking the line of broke. I could experience a bit of peace AND keep gifting. !
