What's Up, Gecko?

Oil on linen panel

I have a "thing" about geckos. Living in Arizona nourishes that. So when a good friend offered me this little vase, I jumped on it. And, of course, painting it was the next best thing!

About Me

I have loved painting, sketching, playing with colors for as long as I can remember, but that love has always been relegated to "later" or "when I have time." Well, it's later and I've decided to make the time. I've learned through the tutelage of mentors, trial and error, watching U-tube and videos I’ve purchased, studying other artists' work, and attending workshops. I particularly love portraiture--of course I would choose the most difficult genre! (A friend recently asked me if I was still painting my way through the family album.) I also love painting still lifes. I see art in everything, and I look forward to sharing my late-blooming passion!
