I love to paint large portraits of girls I know, and sometimes I paint medieval customs on them. I paint Acrylics and Oil and Linen.

I like to paint portraits of girls I know and work to make their likeness on the painting look as they do in real life. I am trying to paint they as hyper realistic as I can. I have also started my own series of painting that I call " My Fantasy Warrior Girls". I paint girls with medieval customs on them in fighting scenes and sometimes just standing. I paint their faces hyper realistic and just rough in the medieval customs to give the painting a different look.
Where do you find inspiration?When I made a trip to Europe about 10 years ago and met a girl named Valeriya. She started me to drawing and painting again, that over the years of my life I would only paint and draw once in a while, you can say that she is my Muse, because I have painted her in a lot of my paintings. When I finish a painting, and start a new one, I try to the make it better than the last. One can say that I am in competition with myself.
What would you do with $25,000?I am an Army Vietnam era veteran with a 60% disability. Painting sort of gives me a peace of mind, and when I am not working in my basement studio, I go to the VA gym at the Captain James A Lovell Federal Hospital to try and get my body in shape. I know some vet friends of mine that can use some financial help, not that I could use some my self, but they are in a lot worst shape then me. I would give to the Fisher House Foundation, Wounded Warrior Project, and other Veterans associations.
