Jlamons Paintings

Shryl Armstrong

 I’ve been painting for about  20 years, and  am mainly self-taught  learning  to paint  by studying  and reading  a great many books on the art of painting, watching  some fine  artists on TV,  and also from meeting and interacting online  with other artists  from around the world.  I paint with Acrylics, Oils and Watercolors.  

I’ve learned so much by participating in art projects on various online forums  making me paint subjects which heretofore had been  totally out  of my comfort zone.  In addition,  I’ve painted  dozens of mini paintings and  small studies which have helped me immeasurably when I paint on larger supports.  

Painting  has added so much  happiness, satisfaction, and awareness into my life and is a wonderful  endeavor  in my senior years.   I am a firm believer in, the more you paint the more you’ll improve but  am the first to admit that I have a very long way to  go when it comes to learning more  and painting better  and  that is why I just enjoy the art of painting and do it for fun and pleasure with no thoughts of ever  selling my work.  

I concur with Van Gogh when he said,  “the only time I feel alive is when I paint”!
