Or if not in a gallery I will contact you back myself.
Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoy my paintings. If you're interested in purchasing one or more please contact me at samtrainaart@bellsouth.netand I'll quickly get back to you.
I live in Mansfield, Ga. A small town app. 60 miles east of Atlanta. There's one caution light here. Very peaceful and quiet although the local Wal-Mart isn't that far away. I enjoy painting just about anything that makes a statement to me in one way or another. My favorite medium is oil. Most of the open field type paintings you see here are of fields , farms, etc, fairly close to where I live. A few are from my travels to Alaska, Yosemite, and North Carolina. A few are also from my imagination.
