I retired early to be able to spend more time on my art

Artwork by Larry Blovits

…Even though I’m 82 years old, I still challenge myself to continue working towards mastering my art, take it to the next level, and increase my mastery of all the fundamentals. I have been doing portraits and landscapes over 50 years.The Old Masters are my hero’s and what I still strive to become.

I still believe that I have so much more to learn and think the added input and insights from the Old Master Academy could point out some critical areas that I need to improve on that might bring me closer, or help me to reach my goals, and help me to improve even more. …

I express my Love for my family through painting

Artwork by Camilo Caceres

… Art is in my soul. I often yearn to have a Brush in hand, and to study more of it. I often express my Love for my family through painting.
