Texas Flag Canvas Print

The Texas Flag is one of my palette knife paintings done without a brush and is a from scratch project. I made the stretcher bars in the wood shop side of the studio and stretched the canvas to fit. I used the palette knife to apply and texture the paint. An oil stain has been applied to enhance the texture easily seen in the photo. I like to paint subjects that are meaningful to people. As a Texan I know folks in Texas are proud of our flag. Hope you enjoy it also.

I am a painter and love the processes and the creation of a painting. As a child growing up I had a natural tendency to draw and build things. I spent most of my working life in the technical field, but the yearning to fulfill my desire to draw and paint was strong, and I found my real passion was to paint. With the gracious support of my wife Carolyn, painting full time became a reality. For me, painting is a gift from God, and the ultimate release of creativity. I paint subjects that catch my eye or from my imagination and don't specialize in any particular area of painting; but, want to make every one of my works special. I enjoy all of it: from taking photographs one day and on to painting landscapes or portraits the next day. ...
