My Dad, Danny Ricketts, has a new website that you must see!
Danny’s Artwork currently showcases 186 of his pieces — paintings, drawings, collages and sculptures.
He’s been doing art stuff since he was a kid and even won awards for his paintings in high school.
He did some drawing and diagramming through the years, but he didn’t do much painting until the last year or so when he was recovering from surgery. He said he found some old paints from school and wondered if they were dried out. Well, they weren’t, but he quickly got some new acrylics and has been painting prolifically ever since.
My mom said that he was jonesing to paint while they were on their recent trip to Tulsa. Next time, he needs to take the paints. 🙂
Here are a few random pieces from the site:
On a design note, it was a lot of fun working with WPtheming’s Portfolio Press, the WordPress theme I used for the site. The learning curve was pretty short and using the portfolio tags really increases the usability of the site, I think.
What do you think? Any suggestions?
