Born and raised in new england began painting at a young age with oils and acrylics an avid nature lover my paintings are often on subject matter that reflects new England or nature i like old barns , lighthouses and natural landscapes in the backcountry or wild settings I became interested in watercolor and found the medium to be challenging I paint only with watercolors now and continue to improve my work I just returned to painting after total hip replacement that I needed after wore it out hiking and climbing mountains I still walk out in my woods and hike in my spare time Im always going camping my I dont have kids or a family to support I plan is to use 75 % of all money made from sales of any art work for charity for people less fortunate than myself to be able to help others with my work would be the greatest thing for me i dont have to paint for income and being able to do artwork and do some of the lords work at the same time thats my dream see more of my work at http://www.craigcalabresewatercolors.com
