Artwork by Frederick Wayne Woods
I am now 79 years old. The reason I am entering this contest is to win the new Life Drawing Academy Course.
I started painting approximately 10 years ago. I refused to set around and watch TV like some of my friends.
It is almost like having a Job. I get up in the morning and know exactly what I am going to do. I go down to my basement studio, start preparing for the days painting. Some times when I get really interested in a painting, I may work around the clock until it is finished. I can never say a painting is finished. If you are as critical as I, you can always find fault and try to change this and that. However, you must come to a point the lay down the brush.
I watched a program on BBC about trying to find the painting buy Leonardo Da Vinci painting of The Battle of Anghiari. It took me a year. You look at this painting and spend hours looking at the action taking place in this battle, plus the detail of uniforms, and war horses. He missed nothing in planning this painting.

I have known Fredrick over 40 years. His dedication and lice for painting has always been such an inspiration to me. He would work tirelessly until the wee hrs of the morning because it was so rewarding watching the painting coming to life. Fredrick always puts 100% into everything he tries. I have watched the progression of his painting develop through the years and can tell you he is quite an accomplished artist. I am so proud of how far he has grown and the paintings he has produced.
I know he has the patience and strong work ethic to accomplish anything he sets his mind to.
