I have been exhibiting my work since the late seventies.I began painting in oil, while in Ted Turners commercial outdoor adv. studios in Atlanta.I was attending school at the same time and I assisted two master painters there.One a traditional american realist, The other a european classicist that ended up, due to his mural skills, working in the commercial arts primarily.Due to my background in that now obsolete industry plus my canvas work,brought some important commissioned murals early on.For the last fifteen or so years, I have worked on my original oils only, with commissions from time to time.I have work in both public and private collections nationwide today.I hope you enjoy the images.For any additional information, framed jpegs, exhibits, etc. Please e-mail me rickmcclung@comcast.net and I will give an imediate reply. New work will be posted monthly so visit as often as possible,Rick McClung
