Creating a thing of beauty adds meaning to my world. A blank canvas holds an invitation to express that which a photo cannot do.

Looking into a face, be it beautiful or not so, I get an overwhelming desire to portray the essence of what the eyes are expressing at that very moment in time. Officially it's portraiture, to me it is the most interesting of all forms of art.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration is everywhere, talking to people, photographic journals such as National Geographic, magazines, Children, animals of all description. The old, the young, faces are fascinating to me.
What would you do with $25,000?I don't spend very much on art supplies, I use charcoal for sketching, so good sketch paper is a must but when using pastel, oil or acrylic, anything that can be used as a blank surface to paint on is fine. Maybe some decent oils and acrylics would be a good idea to invest in.
