ARTIST DARYL COUNCIL JR.

 In 1977 born to a young  interracial couple in the south, my childhood was far from a fairytale. Looking back I can honestly now say I'm THANKFUL as I  know it just built character. One of my most fond memories was watching my grandfather paint. I can remember as young as four yrs old I would often  sit and watch him for hours.  His landscapes, seascapes,  and all that he created were done with such  precision as he listened  to classical music and painted ever so meticulously.  Obviously  I began to  dabble in art often painting with my grandfather  through out my youth I would draw and paint I had such a love for CREATIVITY . In 9th grade I had an awesome art teacher MRS.TEAGUE.  I sold my first piece  THANKS to her for $500 at the local STATE FAIR. Unfortunately  circumstances and situations in life did not allow my art ambitions to flourish until years later.  I had actually  been  in a dark place due to sustaining the loss of many close loved ones including my grandfather . I was going through a tough time and one day  my grandmother  reminded me that my grandaddy had left me some ART and an EASEL  and said "you know he always did think you were special with that creative side, he would LOVE for you to PAINT again! " So...  I did just that I went out in the garage picked up that easel took it home and I have been at it ever since! CREATING !  NOW I bring to you my JOURNEY  through LIFE .on canvas!
