“Nature is my inspiration. To achieve the color and brilliance that I require, I paint in oil and acrylic on gesso board. The many textures this provides enhance the feelings I’m trying to attain in my images. “My greatest pleasure comes from creating and composing the representative and composing the representative and figurative elements that tell a story. I find it very rewarding to create an image, experience the creative painting process and then have an art lover connect with the piece and enjoy it in their own environment.” Ron Henry, Kicking Up Dust
