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.
Man with a Red Shirt was painted in 2004. I was just starting to learn portraits, figures and flesh tones. This piece is textured and full of bold brushstrokes. It is a more expressive piece with lots of movement. Details weren't my goal here. I was just trying to get comfortable with the human form. I had fun creating this piece.
Man with a Red Shirt is 30 x 24 inches, oil on stretched canvas.
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.
