About jfdromey:
I can't remember not knowing how to draw and when I was younger, I drew and painted continuously. Thought about going to art school but didn't know anyone who did fine arts as a hobby never mind a job, so I went to a liberal arts college and took a double major (one in fine arts and one in political science). Thought about taking up political cartooning but I don't have a talent for cartoons.........after college, business and professional pursuits sidetracked any artistic activities. Lived in and around the Boston area, a couple of other parts of New England and currently reside on the South Shore near Cape Cod. For a number of years, I did no artwork at all but about two years ago (for no apparent reason) I decided to start painting again while on vacation. I chose pastels - a medium I had never used much at all - primarily because I love the pure colors of the pigment, they're portable and pretty easy to clean up after. Did about a dozen paintings in three weeks, signed up for a class at the local arts guild when I returned from vacation (so I could learn the medium!) and haven't stopped since.

Thanks for looking at some of my work. The sunset were taken November 13, 2008 in St. Croix, Virgin Island near an area where you can see " The Wall ". and there is an outdoor bar with tropical fruit drinks. The lime & coconut was my favorite. Marty : )

Hi Joan: Thanks so much for your always encouraging words! I really appreciate the kind sentiments...you are right in observing that most of my recent postings have been photographs (not my preference.) I'm hoping to post new artwork soon...early in March I somehow tore the retina in my right eye, but it has been steady but slow recovery after surgery. I'm really glad that you enjoy the style of my postings...that means a lot, especially from an accomplished artist as yourself! Have a great weekend!

Thankyou very much ! Lucky yes , but im also stubborn , i go to a zoo knowing what i want and willing to stake ot out for a day or two to get it , i never get quite what i want though , never work with kids or animals they say ! sometimes i get much more and this was one of those lucky times . The leopard had seen its mate wake up and that was why it was so intent on what it was doing , and not on me. After i have sat there for a couple of hours and not done anything the animal gets used to me and acts in a more natural manner. Thankyou for liking it !!!

Thanks for your comment, I learned the most by using oil pastels and soft pastels, still use them when I travel. Keep up the good work.
