Buddy LaHood
I live in a beautiful setting outside Valdosta, Georgia with huge Spanish moss covered Live Oaks, tall Georgia pines, and beautiful green hayfields. I am semi-retired after caring for the elderly residents of our family owned assisted living facility for the past forty years. I’ve have been happily married for 45 years and we have 15 wonderful grandchildren who all live nearby. My paintings are inspired by the beauty of God’s creation. I thank Him daily for giving me the desire and ability to paint. I took art classes at Valdosta State College for two years when I was 19 and 20 years old but I did not pursue art again until about 24 years ago. I have been mostly self taught but for the past five years I have attended workshops and benefited greatly by the guidance of such artists as Robert Joyner, Audrey Phillips, Martica Griffin, Krista Harris, Jimmy Touchton, and Steve Aimone. My painting style continues to evolve and I thoroughly enjoy exploring different mediums and techniques.
