Showcasing Finch Allen Art, Oils, and watercolors.
Welcome to Finch Allen Art
Lake Martin, Alabama
My Background
I always enjoyed drawing as a child. My father was an Air Force pilot and afforded me the wonderful opportunity to travel and live all over the world growing up. I spent many years in Europe where I developed a great fondness for art. I studied art history at the University of Alabama. It was not until retirement in Eclectic, Alabama as a Naval Nurse Corps Officer, that I threw myself totally into my passion for painting in watercolor and oils full-time. Finch's work may be seen at Red Hill Gallery, Lake Martin, Alabama. Raining Dogs Studio and Gallery, Dadeville, Alabama, The Kelly Fitzpatrick Gallery and Center for the Arts, Wetumpka, Alabama, and lastly @Finchallenart.com website and online store.
My Inspiration, The Beauty of the Earth
I enjoy watching nature from dock in my spare time and many of my pieces are directly influenced by things I see in and around my home at Lake Martin, Alabama. I love recreating plants , people, and wildlife in my work. As a huge animal lover, especially dogs and cats, I have done many "pet portraits," many of which have been "memorial portraits" which I consider an honor
when asked to paint one.
My Medium, The Oils , Watercolor & Pencil
I use many different mediums, such as clay, acrylics, pencil and watercolors, and especially love painting in oils. I am beginning to explore alcohol inks which is fascinating to me. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style. I am always open to trying new things.
