"Duane McCollough"
Artist Bio
As an artist with years of commercial and fine art experience, I have decided to gather some of my past artwork and current image projects and share them here at this online gallery with visitors.
Many images presented here show a wide range of environments that reflect places where my wife & I have visited over the years.
From tropical shoreline scenes in the Florida Keys and other Caribbean islands to the mountains of western North Carolina, THE REALM GALLERY reveals views of nature that should inspire the artist in all of us.
Scenes from other island and mountain places we have visited can also be found together with images from my mother's collection of artwork. It was Christine's unique artistic talent that inspired me to become an artist long ago.
Some scenes use filtered photographic images while other views are
acrylic paintings on wood or based on silk-screen prints. A few images
were built by blending my photos of clouds as background with scenes
from the Virtual Sailor computer simulator program.
I have also included a new link from the main page which reveals some of my simple architectural home design work that uses the Chief Architect program format.
These home design projects are based on the efficient use of living space and the consolidation of utility needs within the dwellings.
If you are interested in acquiring larger copies of these images -- please read the Inquiry Information link below and I will try to accommodate your interest.
I realize there are many wonderful images available on the Internet that can be easily copied, and it is not easy for independent artist like myself to pay their bills under this scenario. I hope your visit here will be a rewarding experience for both of us.
