There’s an urban legend surrounding the artist Mark Richard Luther, as the story goes when he was five years old, his mother gave a piece a paper and a number two pencil. On that day in the year 1969 an artist was created where he would blossom years later into a professional artist. Throughout his art career Mark Richard Luther has tried every opportunity that comes his way, he leaves nothing to chance. He’s a constant self-promoter of his artwork and his writing. “You can’t just sit home and expect that someone is going to discover you as an artist, it’s not going to happen.” The artist said on May 6, 2010 as he was part of a discussion panel- New Direction in Art Production/ Careers Suny Oneonta. He has taught drawing classes at Frank J. Balsoe Library in Herkimer, NY. Mark Richard Luther has exhibited his paintings at The Remington Gallery of the Ilion Free Library in Ilion, NY. Cooperstown Art Association in Cooperstown, NY, an Art Gallery in Riverhead, NY, he paints portraits in oils and watercolors. Artist’s Statement Inspiration: (Why I make my art?) There is a passion to create artwork because it comes to the artist as a natural process to who I am. Design Strategy: (How I make my art?) I start by creating a light pencil drawing of the image- a portrait, landscape, still life or a seascape. I will do a quick sketch on canvas or watercolor paper after that I choose the size of the material- 4x6, 11x14, 16x20 or any size. My Working Process: Once I have finished the pencil drawing. I make a decision on the medium- Oils, Watercolors, and Oil Pastels- once I have made the decision on the medium. I will mix the colors that I need to begin the painting (base colors) after I apply the colors to the surface, adding the lights and the shadows giving the painting depth. When I finish a painting, I treat myself to either Applebee’s or Denny’s. EMPLOYMENT EXPERIENCE Freelance Writer the Country Editor 2014 Palatine Bridge, NY Library Clerk Frank J.
