HELLO AND WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE. MY NAME IS WYNN BOOTY AND I AM AN ARTIST WHO LIVES IN MIDLOTHIAN, VIRGINIA. ART IS MY PASSION, I LOVE TO CREATE. I TAUGHT ELEMENTARY ART IN COLONIAL HEIGHTS FOR 27 YEARS AND AM NOW HAPPILY RETIRED FOCUSING ON MY OWN ARTWORK INSTEAD OF TEACHING AMAZING, CREATIVE CHILDREN. I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM THE CHILDREN I TAUGHT. THEY ARE SO SPONTANEOUS AND PLAYFUL IN THEIR ART. AS WE GROW OLDER WE TEND TO LOSE THAT SPONTANEITY AND OUR ARTWORK SEEMS TO "TIGHTEN UP". SO, LET'S ALL LEARN TO PLAY AGAIN!
MANY TIMES, I PAINT WITH MY HANDS. I LIKE TO LAYER MY WORK WITH MANY DIFFERENT TEXTURES. I ALSO WILL SOMETIMES WRITE VERSES OR QUOTES IN THE BACKGROUND OF MY PAINTINGS WHICH GIVE A HIDDEN MEANING TO MY WORK. USUALLY THE BACKGROUNDS ARE IN ACRYLIC PAINT BECAUSE OF THE FAST DRYING TIME - I CAN LAYER TEXTURES. THEN I PAINT WITH OIL PAINTING ON TOP. I FINISH WITH GOLD LEAF AND SKELETON LEAF, AND THEN A VARNISH WHICH BRINGS OUT THE COLOR. MY ART REFLECTS MY LOVE OF THE COLOR IN NATURE. I PAINT ALL SIZES FROM 2 X 3 INCHES TO VERY LARGE. A SIZE FOR EVERYONE AND EVERY WALL. WHEN NOT PAINTING, I ENJOY MOSAICS - NOTHING RELIEVES STRESS LIKE BREAKING A FEW DISHES! SKETCHBOOKS ARE SO IMPORTANT - EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A SKETCHBOOK OR JOURNAL, SO I ALSO DESIGN DECORATED SKETCHBOOKS AND JOURNALS.
