A couple of weeks ago, Kyle Ma visited my studio. We
have been sharing art DVDs and books since I met him at my son's school 2 years
ago. Kyle is 15 years old and already his work is that of a professional
artist with many years of experience.
Recently, I switched to Cobra water mixable oil paints
and I wanted to let Kyle try them. I set up my easel and palette so he
could mess around with the paint. Instead of just pushing paint around on
the canvas, he started painting from the reference photos I used for my last
barn painting. To my surprise, he finished the painting in under 30
minutes. Wow! I really admire artists that can interpret a scene
with an impressionistic painting style. It is so much harder than it
looks. I have tried to paint that way for years and I still cannot do
it. My paintings style is Contemporary Realism.
Kyle is destined to become a great artist. I am
fortunate enough to own 2 of his paintings. He is represented by Wilcox
Gallery in Jackson, Wyoming and Bella Muse Gallery in Ogden, Utah. Check out
their website and you will see that almost every painting is sold as quickly as
he sends them to the gallery. Another gallery that shows his work this
month, as a guest artist, is Insight Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas.
Even the owners of two of these galleries own Kyle's work in their private
collections. If you have ever thought about investing in art, check out
Kyle's paintings.
