Re: Introducing myself

Hello everyone,

I'm very delighted to be in the community with you all. My name is Adekunle Adeoluwa, a civil defence officer from Nigeria. I am married with two beautiful girls. My job as a security officer has been quite interesting, however, if I were opportuned, I would have chosen painting as my life profession. Why? Because I love it with an indescribable passion.Even though I didn't study fine art in college, I believe with my experience, I can call myself a self made artist.

You may wonder why i didn't study art in scool. My parents saw no promising future in artistic works for career pursuit... and well, in this part of the world where i came from, some disciplines and career paths are considered as lacking financial security, hence they loose prestige. As a result, some kids, like me get thwarted from their passion and talents ( too bad, right....?).

In resent times fine and applied art has come to the limelight in my country and i'm determined to pursue with passion my desire to be a realism painter. I paint more with gouache colours because i am a natural at it and well, you must have heard of the saying that "a man's gift make way for him". I've sold some of my paintings in the past few year

Here on Steemit, i'll be displaying paintings on nature like landscapes, seascapes, seasons and times of the day. I'll also me making portrait paintings and drawings. I sure hope to give you my best.

Thank you for reading my post.
