Okay, here's the obligatory self portrait. A painter friend of mine asked me why don't I paint more people. Here's a good example of why. I can't draw faces or figures well. So that's why I gravitate towards nature painting. Maybe I'll take some figure drawing classes and I'll revisit this topic. For now, I'll just have to apologize for the mediocrity of my portraiture skills.
My love of the arts began early on in life and was greatly influenced by an inspiring photography teacher in high school. I began teaching myself to paint in 2019 and have had my work exhibited in numerous shows around the country. One of the joys of being an artist is looking at the world in totally different ways and discovering a painting or photograph in a million unexpected places. For inquiries: dominmark@yahoo.com
