Tom Applegate Paintings on Canvas and board

I have been painting since I was 5 years old inspired by my mother and uncle who were both artists.  I began with pencils and paint by number kits and went on from there.  I primarily paint in oils since oil paintings have that certain something that other mediums can't obtain.  I am not a stuck in the mud artist trying to perpetuate something that worked for me once.  Nothing stays the same in life and so art follows.
