Work / Art Medium / Interest
I paint with acrylic paints on canvas and panels, sometimes with mixed media to get where the subject matter steers me. I have been focusing on mostly landscape subject matter for awhile in a abstract and free form style.
Profile / Bio
Hi, My name is Doug Parent, and have been an Artist since i first started drawing as a little boy. It has always been with me, and nurtured thru school Art classes and into college. I did not make Art my livelihood, but chose carpentry as a trade and worked with my hands, and creative mind to build and provide for myself and family. Thru all those years I was always working on Art and sharing with my family. After retiring from the building trades in 2009, I started seriously painting , having the time to do so and was active in the Arts community in Port Angeles .I have done travelling Arts shows in the south west over the years, and now reside in Birch Bay. I have been engaged lately in some Art shows. The summer show at the Jansen Art Center, and the Wave, opening my studio for the show. I'm happy to meet other Artist, sharing work and ideas in the pursuit of the gift of Art. It needs to be shared with all and brighten this world, I can only hope. Art is a positive life force that needs to be shared !
Best, Doug
