Meet the Artist

Frank E Mims originally from Dallas, Texas has lived in Marietta, GA since 1992.

Frank was a professional artist in the mid 70‘s selling his artworks of Acrylics, Oils and Pastel Drawings through his own gallery in Dallas. Prior to that time, Frank was a Professional Golfer on the PGA Tour in the early 70’s. Frank has rekindled his interest in art by painting watercolor scenes of famous golf holes and players, sports scenes, nature scenes and other subjects.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Although I have much more experience in oils and acrylics, I find watercolor painting to be more fun and at the same time more challenging. Rarely, does my finished watercolor turn out to be exactly what I had in mind when I start a painting. Sometimes I am at the mercy of the way the watercolor flows, unlike oils and acrylics where I have much more control of the paint. I love painting all types of subject matter from golf scenes, landscapes, seascapes, snow scenes and more. I have developed my own personal techniques which may vary from painting to painting. I am constantly viewing scenes of nature to see what may make a beautiful painting. Sometimes it may be a tree or group of trees, flowers, clouds, sunsets and sunrises, beaches, mountains, animals and even people.

A huge part of the enjoyment of painting is being able to share my works, either by people viewing my work on my website or purchasing a print or original for their own enjoyment. I truly hope you may get some enjoyment from my works.
