Richard is married and lives south of Colorado Springs, Colorado. He has been a practicing artist and illustrator for over 50 years. He has entered many art shows and received numorous ribbons. Richard was raised on a farm in Iowa and prefers rural scenes, landscapes or western art. Working mainly in oils on either canvas or masonite he prefers a somewhat impresionistic style. I hope you enjoy his work.
Media Oil on canvas
