Icon Alley



  "If you can dream it, you can do it."  Walt Disney


      Other than taking a few courses in Art Appreciation in college, I have not had extensive formal training in Art.  I have always enjoyed sketching and composing studies of the human body, still lifes and general landscape scenes.  I have only begun in the last two years to devote my energy and thought to creating and painting art.  I have learned that with all things that I have imagined, I can at least do something and sometimes I can do a lot.  After all these years of focusing on the military life, family and career, I have finally arrrived at a place where I can devote an appreciative amount of time to paint, create and dream.  I have studied with a Master Professional artist and she has helped to rechannel my focus and fine-tune my abilities to create descriptive fine art.  That is just the beginning; I have to continue to dream and envision all those things that I want to create and then just do it! 


  This is a mixed media painting beautifully framed in a smooth and ridged ebony frame.  The frame is complemented with a thin gold edge on the inside as well as the outside edge.  The canvas size is 11X14 inches and the frame is approximately 3 inches wide.
