painting style and built a list of clients. He has been painting
professionally for almost 20 years,the last eight as a full-time artist. He
has studied under many artists, including Frank Webb, Roland Roycraft and
Joe Fettingis. His extensive list of shows includes the Penrod Arts Fair in
Indianapolis, Art on the Bluff in St. Joe, Michigan, the Lakefront Art
Festival in Michigan City, St. James Court Art Show in Louisville, Kentucky
and New East Side Artworks in Chicago, Illinois. He has won awards in
regional and national shows.
For the past several years Mr. Blackburn has taught his unique style of
watercolor in classes and workshops in the Midwest area. His work can be
seen at the Water Lily Gallery in Syracuse, Indiana. He was featured in the
American Artist publication "Watercolor - Summer 1997". His image
"Forgotten Treasure" was included in the book "Best of
Watercolor - Painting Composition" by Rockport Publishers, and one of
his paintings is featured in the book "Best of Watercolor 3". Mr.
