DWLKRL, welcome.

Derrick Wayne Lipinski.

Klim Rab Lab.

Was never encouraged to follow any art form as a child, still my imagination; and life joys/experiences lead me to this life. Somewhere around 1982/1983 I took it up in earnest. Writing poetry first, which lead into painting. I found painting to be more productive and satisfying.

'LOVE IS'

23.75 X 35.75", acrylic on canvas, 1988?

Not the first painting, but one of the earlist, only have 3 canvas paintings, the rest are on wood, plywood; or birch panels, I prefer the smoothness of gessoed wood over the weave of canvas fabric. Even the fast drying nature of acrylic would still run into the weave of canvas, was really into ‘staying inside the lines’ type of kid artist.
