About me...

First let me say hello and thank you for stopping by. My name is chris and I'm a starving artist. Basicly I just wanted people to see my artwork and to give their input. We will get to that later though...right now lets talk about me.

I'm a self-taugh artist, meaning that I have had no formal art training. I have however read many a book on the subject and have had plenty of trial and error sessions. i like being self-taugh because i have no preconcived notion on what I am "suppose" to paint. So i just paint whatever I think looks good or feels right. In my mind that is the ultimate form of expression. Just me and the canvas and the paint and well....enough about me. I plan to use the area below as a sort of newsleter. I invite you to email me with your thoughts or hot topics or anything you want to see up here. I'll also use them to express some of my thoughts. Be sure to stop back by sometime. Peace

Realist painting?!
I love to go outside and see the trees and smell all the wonderful scents of the world. I love seeing the indefinite colors and how the sun plays on all the world has to offer. Why do some people try to imitate something that is so breathtaking. Don't get me wrong; I truly respect the skill required in attempting to duplicate such a subject. But i can not see the creative side of painting something that is not your own idea. If you must paint "realism", then change a color or add a twist to it. Otherwise you mine as well save yourself the time and just take a picture for some things are to perfect to copy.

What is wrong with Detroit?!!!
In detroit, where I live, There will soon be an art exibit for a famous painter. I'm not saying names but lets just say he would cut off an ear if he heard this. This lousy venue is charging sixteen dollars per half hour to see these paintings!!!!! For you people who's math is well....that's thirty-two dollars an hour. Some of these paintings will never be shown again. Kiddies get in for eight doolars for an unlimited amount of time.....

Respect
I have gotten a lot of letters from when I had the old site. Thanks for the respect; it helps alot. Keep them coming and I'll keep putting them up. Got hot art news....send that too! Thankx...
