A BLANK CANVAS IS THE CLOSEST THING TO PURE FREEDOM. IT IS PURE. IT IS A NEW BEGINNING AND THE POTENTIAL IS LIMITLESS. WE ARE ALL BORN A BLANK CANVAS.

THERE ARE FEW THINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE BOTH AS INTIMIDATING AND EXCITING AS A BLANK CANVAS. ​TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IMAGES AND FEELINGS AND THOUGHT AND USE PAINT AND A BRUSH TO MANIPULATE COLOR AND SPACE TO TRANSFER THOSE THINGS INTO SOMETHING THAT OTHERS CAN SEE IS ASTOUNDING TO ME. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST PURE FORMS OF EXPRESSION WE HAVE AS HUMANS AND SINCE THE BEGINNING OF MANKIND WE HAVE TAKEN A PIECE OF CHARCOAL AND SCRATCHED IMAGES ON A CAVE WALL TO EXPRESS OURSELVES AND DO IT IN A MANNER THAT RECORDS TIME FOR ALL OF US. I HOPE I NEVER TIRE OF IT AND THAT WITH AGE COMES A SKILLSET AND EXPERIENCE AND JOY.
I HAVE BEEN A PROFESSIONAL SCENIC ARTIST PRETTY MUCH FOR CLOSE TO 30 YEARS. I HAVE WORKED FOR ALL OF THE MAJOR THEME PARKS AND DID 10 YEARS IN THEATER. I HAVE TRAVELED THE COUNTRY FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER AND SPREAD MORE PAINT THAN THE LITTLE DUTCH BOY! I CAN MAKE WOOD LOOK LIKE MARBLE, MAKE STYROFOAM LOOK LIKE OAK AND TURN A TILE CEILING INTO A LOVELY CLOUD FILLED SKY OF BLUE. SOME PEOPLE CALL IT MAGIC, I CALL IT SCENIC ART. TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF MY SCENIC ART SAMPLES AND ENJOY.
I HAVE TO SAY THAT MY FAVORITE THING TO DO OTHER THAN PAINT CANVASES IS TO DO MURALS. THERE IS FEW GREATER THRILLS THEN TO SEE A BIG BLANK WALL AND TO BE LET GO ON IT LIKE A BEAST THAT HASN'T EATEN IN WEEKS BEING RELEASED ONTO A HUNK OF MEAT! STANDING BACK AND LOOKING AT SOMETHING THAT A SHORT TIME EARLIER WAS A NORMAL, NONDESCRIPT BLANK WALL AND THEN TO LOOK AT A WORK OF ART...WELL, IT'S PRETTY EXCITING. KNOWING THAT HUNDRED IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL SEE IT EVERY DAY IS A SPECIAL FEELING.
