1 am no longer able to create art , but I am going to try to keep this site. As a self taught artist  I worked in oils, graphite, charcoal, and colored pencil. as a child growing up spent a lot of time drawing people, cars, animals and whatever. as a young adult i started oil painting and then worked as a graphic artist in the screen print industry from 1992 until 2010.  i  have been  married to a very special lady since 1986 who recently started painting. we live in northeast alabama where we enjoy church, the outdoors, our grandchildren and of course art.  art is much more meaningful if it tells a story. art can take us somewhere else and give us peace in a world full of trouble. art can help us appreciate God's creation, and art can also remind us how blessed we are.               Ransumed Fine Arts
