I really love the colors here. What training have you had? ARe you self taught? Tell me about your pieces and give me a history. Sorry I am curious because I have only been painting a few years myself and have learned everything pretty much on my own.

Hi Michelle, Thanks for asking. Yes, I am self-taught and started painting in the late 1990's after selling my company, My background and past career has been in meterology, not art. The painting you are referring to is one in a series from the La Boca District of Buenos Aires, a very colorful part of that city. I have serveral from the La Boca series at the Eureka Fine Art Gallery in Eureka Springs. Joe www.joesfineart.com
