Ned Neely statement

I have been drawing and painting for 23 years ever since I retired.  I never got serious about my art until that point.  I am self taught through art books or you-Tube videos.  My art style is realistic, and since I find beauty in nature I concentrate on painting landscapes, sunsets, flowers, birds, and animals.  I also appreciate the beauty of the past and have painted or drawn old barns and historical buildings.
