Artist based on the prairies of North Dakota
Art is the only thing I have ever really wanted to do. Being an artist has been my dream from the very beginning. I have never wanted to get rich from my artwork. Instead, I want to be able to make enough to be able to give it away. I believe art brings people together. It heals, it brightens the world. Case Art isn't just another art store, it is my way of helping others through art.
About 7 years ago I painted a photo of a Dorado or Mahi Mahi that my friend had caught while fishing in Puerto Rico and it was stole from a gallery that it was hanging in. I started a piece to repaint that painting but never got very far. Awhile back I stumbled upon the canvas again with the oil wash sketch of that great Dorado, I decided it was time to finally finish that piece. This one varies slightly from the original that was stole but I still focused on the bright colors of the fish. Dorado is one fish that loses it color fairly rapidly when removed from the water.
Dorado is painted on a canvas that I stretched myself with medium duty double kilned pine stretcher bars and 100% duck cloth canvas. It was triple primed with premium gesso. It is 14 x 24 inches, gallery wrapped and ready to hang. It comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
No matter where life takes me, I vow to never stop using my art to help others. The talents we are given are meant to be cultivated and to be used to improve the lives of our fellow humans. It is a greater gift to give of these talents than it is to use them simply for personal gain.
