V.C. Kimmel.

particular waterfall.

humble efforts. My

ABOUT THE ARTIST: I was born in
1949 in Miami Fla. Moved to the N.W.
thirty years ago and live in the Seattle
area. Retired Navy and Retired Chef
so now I can finally devote my life to
my art. Never had the opportunity for
art instruction and rely on what talent
the Creator gave me and trial and
error. Lots and lots of error .I'm a
happy man, no angst, hidden rage or
great sorrows to show in my work, I'll
leave that to the important artist. I
prefer to leave man out of my paintings.
I'm a great admirer of the Hudson
River School of art and the old Masters.
Being an artist is a wonderful gift from
the Creator but it is an expensive gift
to follow. I put a great deal of time and
effort into my works. When i begin to
sell or set prices, I do not bargain for
this reason. There are no Royalties
for visual artist. Artist have one shot at
making a living from there creation, the
point of first sale, where as collectors
and speculators have the rest of time
for profit.
