Nelson Hubley

Nelson Hubley answers the question why he paints by stating, "It is an escape for me.  An escape from the pressures of the real world.  I go into a zone where there is no one else, only me and my paint brush.  I also enjoy creating art for people to enjoy." 

Having painted for over thirty years, it was not until the  fall of 2005 under the leadership of American Artist, Ann Templeton, that he discovered and fell in love with enPlein Air Painting.  It has been through taking workshops from such artist as Peter Gough, Pat Kew-Ahern, Beverly Hubley, and Ann Templeton that he has become the artist he is today. 

Had he not been exposed to art in high school and winning first place ribbons for his Watercolour and Acrylic paintings, and then going on to having two solo art shows that sold out, he would have missed out on discovering his passion.  Art is all around you, all you have to do is capture it and put it on canvas.
