Chris' Artistic Spark

First, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit my website and subscribe to my newsletter. When I wrote this first post in 2022, it had been ten years since I picked up a paintbrush and oil paints to begin my artistic journey. I felt it was time to share my artwork with the world.

I have thoroughly enjoyed oil painting and the relaxation and pleasure it brings to the soul. Sharing my pieces on social media and reading people’s comments has brought me great joy. It means a lot to know that others have seen and enjoyed my work.

I would certainly be remiss if I didn’t thank my mentor, Jesus Estevez, who challenged me to explore my creative side. During a chance meeting at a business gathering, Jesus told me he could teach me to paint. I exclaimed, “You can’t teach me. I’m too old to learn!” I accepted his challenge, signed up for his academy, and the rest is history.

At the time of this first post, I was still gathering my earlier artwork with the idea of offering prints. You can now ask me about a print of any artwork on this site. I also want to thank my son Andrew, who nudged me to make a website and get my name out there. Thanks, Andrew.

Thank you all for supporting the art of oil painting!
Cheers,
Chris

The painting that began it all was Rainy Street.
