My name is Gloria Ester and I was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas, where I still reside with my brush in hand and my small pack of Chihuahuas. I am a realistic to impressionistic artist, and I am best known for my 10 minute paintings and my palette knife paintings. I work mainly with acrylics and paint much of everything, from landscapes to still-life's and even some plein air. I use both brushes and palette knives, with palette knife being my favorite to use as I like how quick I can complete a piece, and the looseness of the finished painting. Of course, nothing quite beats the fun out of painting a 10 minute painting as the results are so quick and it's always great to see how well the artwork turns out in such a small amount of time.
Apart from painting, I also enjoy photography although I'm not a professional, but it's so gratifying to capture the world in such a special way. Note: I close my shop on Sundays. Please allow up to 2 weeks for delivery.
