About Me

My photo
Durham, NC
After graduating from the University of Mobile in 1985 I started a career as an artist. My life consisted of Easel painting, Murals, Trompe l'oeil and faux finishes. I did this for 18 years until reaching a point of creatively burning out. I painted nothing of substance for almost 7 years. In January of 2010 things happened to open my eyes to the beauty around me and a deep desire to paint again. This blog will be dedicated to my new work. Paintings that are for me and my pleasure and the pleasure of others and not for a pay check. My hope is that this will help to keep the work fresh and of true vision.

Frostbite Regatta "Black Bow"



Black Bow
21 x 40
Acrylic on canvas
Tony Alderman

This is the second painting from the Frostbite Regatta in Southport NC. I was attracted to the way the bow of the boat created a void in front of it as it pushed through the water.  It is easy to imagine the power surging just under the surface.
