My intent with this channel is to develop an online community of artists, art collectors, art buyers, art teachers, art students, interior decorators, and anyone else interested in how art is created.
I paint a lot of greeting cards simply because I enjoy giving them away. I am hoping I will find an audience of those who simply appreciate art and the creation of art.
So that brings us to this channel. My real name, and the name I use when I sign my art, is Larry Whitler. But I call this channel Poppa Paints because I am now a grandpa and my grandson calls me Poppa. In fact, a LOT of people now call me Poppa. Go figure!
To sum it up, being an artist is more than just creating beautiful paintings—it's about spreading a little bit of joy and gratitude to the world around us. Through my artwork, I hope to capture the essence of nature's wonders and express appreciation for the unsung heroes who make a difference every day.
