I have been painting in oil for 12 years. I am mainly a self-taught artist, although I have been fortunate to participate in some great workshops ( Max Ginsberg, Seth Haverkamp, Roger Dale Brown) and paint regularly with some very talented local artists.I have painted in plein air, portraits, landscapes and still life. I am always intrigued by portraiture, and what makes a portrait work. The fact that you are continually learning and problem solving makes painting very exciting to me! Thanks for looking, Pamela more
