About The Artist

l have been drawing and painting since very young, portraits, still life, wildlife, in all mediums, finally settling for oil as the most compatible with the way l paint. Had the good fortune of having two very well known painters as private teachers, Enrique Estrada Bello in Santa Fe, Argentina and Jac J. Koeman in Bergen (N-H), The Netherlands. l have not dated my work for the last twenty years as l consider the themes to be timeless. There is no lack of inspiration for me, even weeds l find beautiful and they are present in many of my paintings. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, married in The Netherlands where l now reside near my two children. Please see www.facebook.com/scottifranchini.art
