I'M 49YR OLD FATHER OF TWO, HAVE BEEN PAINTING SINCE I WAS 12 , I DO OIL PAINTINGS,MOSTLY, BUT I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS DIGITAL ART ABOUT TWO YEARS NOW, I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT ALLOWS ME TO PAINT ELECTRONICALLY, THEN PAINT ON OILS. I CONSIDER MY SELF A REALISTIC ARTIST,PAINTING PEOPLE, CITIES, LANDSCAPES,ETC.I WAS IN THE USAF 15 YEARS, AND HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE WORLD, SO MY PAINTINGS OFTEN REFLECT WHAT I HAVE SEEN. MY EYESIGHT IS REALLY BAD IN ONE EYE SO I USE A LOT OF COLORS, IN MY PAINTINGS.I DREAM O.F PAINTING I HAVE YET TO PAINT, IT IS MY HEART, CAN REACH ME, markpogiv@yahoo.com, markgivens@webs.com/
