Thank you so much for visiting my web site. I hope your experience here is of great pleasure.

Now, let me reveal a little about this artist that is in this picture you see here.

Early on I studied the commercial and advertising field with the Art Instruction School of Minneapolis Minnesota. I am mostly self taught but I also took many college classes in Florida towards a fine arts degree to help me along the way.
 
The realistic style that I convey has won numerous awards. One was a portrait of my toddler son, done in colored pencil. (shown left) Another one was a ship rendered in pen and ink. (right)
I was born in the New England area and since the age of three I was creating art by drawing little squiggle lines in my mother's bible that resembled my favorite tricycle. I called it a “bur-car-byhcle”. (That is how I pronounced it). Now I am drawing absolutely stunning realistic portraits in pencil of children and many other different subjects and mediums. I love variety and my abilities are still growing by leaps and bounds.. "Thank you God for truly blessing me with this incredible talent. And teaching me the will to keep on with what you entrusted me with. You are so faithful to me."

Ihave eight wonderful grand children and they are some of my best subjects for the examples used in
Kids Moments™
Kids Moments™ began in thought around December of 2001, after I drew a black and white portrait of my grand daughter with just the bright color of her favorite red shoes showing their color, for a gift to my daughter. This is when the idea of a touch of color added to basically a graphite pencil painting began for me. Many people love my work, and they are absolutely satisfied with the quality they recieve. This is why I offer a quality guarantee for my work. Each painting I do is absolutely created by me with my own two hands. Check out the testimonies page for a few comments from those who have received art work from me.
Besides painting portraits in graphite pencil, oils, acrylics, water color, pastels, and colored pencils, I have some wonderful line art illustrations in pen and ink. For my ink washes the style is free flowing, like you would have in a water color.

My ability to be versatile has brought work such as murals of jet fighters and butterflies, to light houses, and huge beach scenes on walls, to painting large 50 foot scenic backdrops, on panels for drama productions. My ability to capture life like qualities has brought me art commissions from around the world, of animals and humans and landscape settings.

The computer has been very versatile to help me create some stunning digital art from photos, using programs like
Visit LaFoote Art Gallery in the digital art section to view some of the art pieces.

I reside in a nice home located in the Tennessee Valley. And from my studio room I am having great success in teaching others, plus I take the time to create all kinds of personal treasures for others and for myself.

I have found I love to teach others how to develop their talent and inspire others to keep at their expressions in art. My reputation has been growing steadily in teaching this craft.
