Hey everyone!  I'm new to steemit, 5 days old to be exact,  I  just wanted to share some of my artwork with you all and tell you a little about myself. 

My name is Adam, and I am a professional artist with a BFA in fine arts painting. I love working with oils and encaustics in particular. Aside from the arts my interests lie with rocks and minerals. I love collecting, looking at, and learning all about them. They are masterpieces of art themselves and their aesthetic beauty never gets old. 

I look forward to sharing some of my collection with you all. As well as, my paintings and other works of art. I started posting a couple pieces on my blog and I would love your feedback and support. Constructive criticism is always welcome!

Sunset Over Torch Lake:
This is an oil painting, painted on a glass panel 30" x 54" in size. The landscape reflects an evening sunset Over Torch Lake in northern Michigan. A place dear to my heart.
