While I make ceramic and glass art for my business, Creative Paradise, Inc. I truly enjoy making oil paintings for my own pleasure. My father is an artist. I can remember being very young and impressed by my father's artistic abilities. In awe might be a better descriptor. He was in the Air Force. He was trained as an architect but drafting an occasional building for an occasional base was the extent of the use of this training. Now, as he approaches 80, he is getting back at the canvas to paint. He picks me up every Wednesday night and we go to the art center at McConnel Air Base and paint for 2 hours. It has been a great bonding experience for us as well as a great creative outlet for me. The picture posted here is one of my father's most recent oil paintings. The painting was not finished when I took this picture. The architect in him is coming out in this painting.
