Oil Paintings

                   Check out my listing on Etsy!

I fell in love with oil painting in 2018 when I got the opportunity to take a class from the talented Dinah Steveni at Skagit Valley College. She taught me the old master’s way of painting and I have been working on developing my realism skills ever since. Vermeer, Caravaggio, and Bierstadt are some of the artists who inspire and teach me.

As a very sentimental person, I love the challenge of translating our connections with the people and pets in our lives to canvas. It fascinates me that the smallest brushstroke can change the entire mood of the subject.

-Salvador Dali “The reason some portraits don’t look true to life is that some people make no effort to resemble their pictures.”

Please look at this sampling of my work, some are available for purchase as originals or prints on my Etsy. I would also love to stay in touch. Follow me on Instagram – @remiemersonarts
