About Me

Hey, I am a 45 year old father of 5, (4 boys and 1 daughter), living in the midwest. I love to oil paint, and even teach classes on it. I started painting in oils in 1980 and have been doing it ever since. It is addicting! :0) My wife is an R.N. My hobbies besides painting are any type of crafts or something that requires some creativity. I love animals, especially my cat. I am a country music fan thru and thru. I listen to it everyday. I was born January 28, 1962 in Galesburg, Illinois. I have lived in Colorado, Virginia, Utah, and Illinois . My work can be seen at www.geocities.com/bobspaintingstudio. I do custom work for anyone interested.

My Interests

Oil Painting, Crafts, anything artistic, The Civil War, History in General, Covered Bridges, The Amish and Mennonite cultures

I'd like to meet:

Other Artists, or just fun people to strike up a friendship with. People who share my same interests... Noel, P.Buckley Moss Who I did meet in person in Kalona Iowa. She paints Amish and Mennonite pictures. They are wonderful.

Music:

Country music is my favorite, But I like a lot of other types too! Some Gospel, easy listening etc.

Movies:

anybody have an idea how to promote your painitngs?

I have been oil painting for over 20 years now, and have yet to figure out how to publish or promote my work. Sure everyone wants them, but never do they want to pay for them. Don't get me wrong, I ha...
