As an artist the above six photos probably say more about my life than anything I will type on this computor. Im much older than the above picture. I would have put a more recent photo there but I like that one. If you see a guy at one of the miniature Art shows that kind of looks like the guy in the picture and he has totally white hair it's most likely me.

I will be at the MASF show in Florida this year with Lee. I might be one of demonstrtion artist .I'm still thinking on it.

I retired about three months ago from my day job and I'm thinking my art work should improve over the next few months. I will try to keep updateing my " WHAT"S NEW " page at least once a month. I would appreciate feed back on anything you see on my Web Site ( Good or Bad ). Maybe there's a Miniature art show or gallery in your area that I could try to get into?

I also accept commissioned work. Just send me an E-Mail boanthony@comcast.net and we will talk it over and work out the details of what you want, cost involved. size, frame or no frame etc. Send me a photo of what ever you would like painted as a miniature( Yourself, family member, pet, anything ) I will make a copy in my PC and return your photo. Your Miniature will be done in 3 to 4 weeks on average ( except during Christmas and Valentines Day ). It's easy and almost painless.

Large Paintings up to 5 feet in width can also be commissioned but I can only do 3 a year and they are painted in the order that the commission comes in, so there can be a years wait before it's started and another 3 months before it's completion. The paintings shown in my studio photos above are 32 x 40 inches and take less time. Usually 5 to 6 weeks from start to finish but they are also first in first out.

Im a self taught artist who regrets not going to Commercial Art school. It seems like whenever I see another artists work that I really like they were commercial artist for twenty years or so. I'm thinking Howard Terpning, Carl Brender,Rod Lawrence. I spent those years --- thats about all I can say about them.

I'm represented by Collectors Gallery and Framery in Venice Florida. ( Check them out when your in the area . Their good people.)

 

 

Hope to talk with some of you at the shows.
