Bobbie Ventura

I have always been interested in art but my career of choice was nursing. After retirement from many years in that profession I concentrated on learning all I could about my first love, making art. I have had no formal training however I have learned under some of the most talented artist in the world. Because of the information age it's easier than you think. If you have the desire, you can become what you dream.
I am a painter of realism and also alla prima meaning "wet on wet" I also do some plain-air work, which simply means "outside." My medium is oil and some watercolor and my subjects are Portraits still- life and landscapes.
My goal is to bring pleasure to myself by making my art and others by viewing my art. If this happens then I have reached my goal.
