About the Artist

 

 

Ralph L. Root (Lefty)
 

I was born in Connecticut and raised in the glorious Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I spent a short time in the Midwest in Iowa and Illinois before returning back to my home in Colorado.

I have been in the Army for the past 25 years as AGR (active guard and reserve) with the Colorado Army National Guard. I am currently the First Sergeant of a Military Police Company in Denver, Colorado. I have an Associate Degree in Marketing and Merchandising and a Bachelor of Business Administration, Human Resource Management. . I love to paint with acrylics on rocks and leaves along with terra cotta pots. I specialize in wildlife of all types.  I have always loved to paint and was inspired by Lin Wellford and her painting animals on rocks series of books. I am completely self taught and have no formal art training. I started painting on rocks in 1997 and have found a new canvas with natural leaves. They are a very challenging medium and I enjoy the presentation they give my work.

My personal interests and hobbies are fishing and hunting in the Colorado Mountains, photography of wildlife, watching the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, and Colorado Avalanche. I am also an amateur archeologist and collect Stone Indian Artifacts

I have been married for 35 years to my wonderful wife and life long companion; we have three children, one boy and two girls and three grandchildren.  I am looking forward to going camping and traveling in my new travel trailer, with my wife, as I get ready to retire in the next few months. I hope you will enjoy my web site and find something you like. Please feel free to contact me by E-mail if you have any questions. Lefty1592@aol.com.
