I like exploring painting and mixing oils. I like getting my paints to the perfect consistency for spreading it across canvas.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I mainly do portraits. Portraits of famous people usually. I’ve done 7 Jackie Kennedys, but I also do landscapes. I have painted 3 Ansel Adam’s where I set them to color.
Where do you find inspiration?I love photography. I have been a camera guy most of my 72 years. I often study pictures and wonder if I could paint them.
What would you do with $25,000?I am retired and I have 4 grandchildren. The oldest just graduated from college, so I have 3 more on the way. I would like to be able to help them in some way.
