Meet the Artist - Larry Oxford
Though I have no formal training, I originally took up art in the form of sculpting. After creating a line of home accessories and collectible Christmas figurines, “life” took me away from art for the next 16 years. In 2014, I tried painting on canvas and soon realized I absolutely loved it! Currently, my favorite technique is using palette knives with acrylic paint. I am still learning to mix colors, as well as, experimenting with different styles. As I progress, my painting has been trending towards abstract and impressionistic, in lieu of realistic. A good deal of my inspiration comes from two things I love, travel and golf!
“It May Be Art” is meant to convey the nebulous definition of art. Art may be deemed great based on perceived technical skill, or simply the feeling it conveys to the viewer. For me, painting is a relaxing escape. So, is it art? The best part is, you get to decide! Please click on your favorite paintings to see what inspired them!
All paintings are acrylic paint on canvas using brush or palette knife. Paintings are on display at Twigg & Co., Aberdeen, NC.
