Oil Paints
About 20 years ago, I took a community college course in watercolor painting as a hobby interest, and fell in love with making art. I switched to oil painting several years ago, and now make painting in oils my passion in life. My artistic studies are largely self directed, and I am greatly inspired by classical realism and the classical method of painting.

Three questions on inspiration with

Sherry Roper

  • Describe an object that has inspired you
    I am inspired by objects found in nature. Nothing makes me want to paint more than beautiful flowers, trees, fruit, sea shells, and other natural treasures.
  • Describe a place that has inspired you
    I would have to say that the most notable place that has inspired my work has been Paris. A trip to the Louvre and the Musee D'Orsay in Paris many years ago strengthened my interest in the classical painting methods and confirmed my love of traditional art.
  • Describe a person that has inspired you
    The most notable artist that I have been influenced by is William-Adolphe Bouguereau. An exhibition of his work several years ago at the San Diego Museum of Art allowed me to see his masterpieces in person, which I found greatly inspiring.
