I have always been an artist, lived as an artist, and will die an artist. Simply this is what I do. This is who I am The song goes, “Fish gotta swim, Birds gotta fly.” Well, Artists have to create or part of them dies. A good Musician creates a bond between his music and an audience to create magic. If I perform this magic with my paintbrush then I am fulfilled. My success as an Artist can only be measured by how my work affects people. Every time I start a new work my intent is to show you my heart.
My colleagues often tell me to specialize in one subject, style, and medium. Sorry I cannot do this I must constantly evolve as an artist or stagnate. My subject material varies with my interests. Certain styles and mediums are more effective than others when presenting a certain subject I paint with emotion and the birth of each painting is a constant struggle. I am not afraid of failure because from that I will grow and evolve as an artist. And sometimes failures with time become successes. Sad to say often only time awards the artist.
Styles I have many and various styles. I can’t help it. My style changes with my mood, choice of subject, and what I am trying to say.
I tend to paint in series, staying with one subject until I have exhausted the material. Usually there is enough for a show in any series.basically as an artist I am self-taught. I did not fir the mold of mass Art Instruction. I do not see circles stacked up – I see people. Now the things I was trying to do then are now in accepted. I didn’t believe at the time and still do not believe in breaking every one down to an assembly line artist factory method of education. Then later expect the artist later to find his or her own unique style.
I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. Educated in Indiana, Chicago, and Utah. I have lived in many Countries and only recently returned to the USA after being away a long time.
I have been a working artist for over thirty years and have shown my work in many Countries. I am the proud Father of an autistic son whom I live my life around. He is also an artist. My work may be viewed at http”//www.richardwynne.com

32X33" - Pastel on Canvas- Perhaps my comment about all the conflicts in this very small planet. Some people think this is a violent painting. It wasn't meant to be.
This piece was done on a recent road trip with my son,Rhys. I pprefer to use chalk pastels for plein air paintings. One can stick them in a pocket and you are in business. There is no need for an easel. Later a oil or an Acrylic piece can be done from the en situ piece.
19X19"- lacquer on a transparent backing_I learned this technique in Asia while I lived there.It is a very time consuming and demanding technique. One starts with light values on one side and dark on the other. Then alternating sides layers are applied in the same manner until a double sided painting results.
There can be no mistakes as then the piece is ruined. I loke this medium because the results are vivid colors with great depth.
