Tom Duntemann
Virginia Beach, VA
I am a retired physician with a 40 year career in the US Navy and private practice. I am from the Midwest but now live with my wife, in Virginia. While professionally driven by the sciences, I have always been drawn to art. I am largely self-taught, but I would have to say I've been informally educated by the likes of Homer, Sargent, Wyeth and many others whom I have studied and admired. In practice and temperament, I am a watercolorist. The subtlety and quickness of application suit my personality.
I do not attempt to make any profound commentary, rather, I try to convey my feelings as I observe a subject. Being an optimist, these are subjects I find calming, enjoyable and exciting. I feel accomplished if I can connect with the observer in that fashion. My subjects are influenced by the local culture and environment, as well as my travels and life experiences.
