Western New York Native having moved to California in the early 60s. I have always loved art, and what you can create when working with different mediums. I think my favorite now is oil. My experiance in painting started a long time ago. It was only in the last few years I was able to devote more time to painting and due to retirement now, I can devote even more time. I am mostly a self taught painter, but always welcome ideas from others, and attending workshops, to increase my skills.more
