Welcome to my Web Site!
Cyber Home ofBeverly C. SpechtI created this web site primarily to showcase some of my artwork which you can view by clicking on the "Gallery" button above. I have also added a small photo page and may be adding more subject pages in the future. A little background, please: I'm a "Baby Boomer" living in Southwestern Pennsylvania with my husband and two small parrots. Although I started college back in Ohio many (many) years ago on an art scholarship, I eventually wound up completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Science at the University of Pittsburgh. Like so many artists who embrace a "realistic" or "representational" style of painting, I found myself to be a stranger in a strange land in the abstract-only art program offered by the university in Ohio. We soon parted ways. I began drawing as soon as I was old enough to hold a pencil (or crayon). My inspiration was seeing a real, live horse for the first time. I was in love! I couldn't wait to get home and try to draw that beautiful creature. That love of horses turned into a lifelong passion. I kept working hard to improve my skills and eventually branched out to other subject matter. As an artist, I am largely self-taught. Some of my favorite painting subjects are:
I specialize in drawing and painting Arabian horses (my favorite breed). But I also enjoy doing portraits of people (formal and informal) and fantasy art. I accept commissions to do custom paintings or portraits (critters or people). My other primary areas of interest are writing, computers and digital photography. Since I am working on writing a fantasy, sword & sorcery novel, I like to illustrate it with my own drawings of the characters and scenes. Check out the bottom of my Gallery page for a sketch of some of the characters from my novel.
