I an a student and producer of fine art.  I grew up in a rural community and have loved anything to do with nature and animals all my life.

In my paintings all my loves come together, animals, birds, nature, flowers and artistic craft.  My medium is oils, I like the ease of mixing and the buttery texture which allows the paint to flow smoothly onto the canvas.

I paint from photos mostly, sometimes many photos for the development of one painting.  The research, planning and set up of a painting can take as long if not longer than the painting itself.

I guess the main thing is that I absolutely love what I do, hope to still be learning and painting when I am ninety.

My interest in painting began when I first watched painting shows on television.  The magic of starting with a blank canvas and finishing with what appears to be a three dimensional painting was fascinating.                                                                                                           Prairie Landscape by Lee McColl

I have been painting for several years in oil, then acrylic.  I prefer to paint landscapes as it allows me more freedom to express myself in a wider range of colors.
