Born into a military family, I am the oldest of five boys. I started drawing at an early age. Due to my obsession with doodling, I had a tendency to neglect my school work. After 4 years in the Marine Corps, I acquired my art education at the Art Institute's of Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta. I work from my home studio and enjoy living the country life in rural Alabama, with my wife Vicki. My family consists of my two sons, Rusty (US Army) and Andrew and my two stepsons, Eric and Tim (US Army). I enjoy fishing, hiking, and playing horseshoes.
My art is my livelihood and by purchasing my original paintings, illustrations and prints you help put food on the table for my family (two sons at home, 8 cats, 1 toy yorky, 1 Russell Terrier, 1 peacock, 3 chickens, 1 bearded dragon, 1 frog-eyed geckos, my wife and me)."

My art is my passion. The challenging aspect of painting is taking a familiar scene and creating my own personal vision of it. When I start a painting, I am in my own little world and tend to get lost in it. I have a sense of awe in everything around me, finding it absolutely enchanting and I strive to show it in my work. I daydream a lot too! I paint using alkyds and oils.
Life is good and I try to enjoy it to the fullest! (https://www.saatchiart.com/waltcurlee) undefined
