Mark Nesmith: My homage to Van Gogh. This was my class demonstration piece for our acrylic mini masterpieces using the same paint and brushes as my students. The students' paintings came out fantastic! #art #artist #artteacher #arted #artoftheday #art_spotlight #arts

Mark Nesmith: Here's a throwback to 2011. One of the first larger paintings I made after our camping trip at Lake Mineral Wells. It's amazing how so much inspiration can come from one place. I completed dozens of paintings from that one weekend. The Fallen, 36" X 24",

Mark Nesmith: People who know me know one of my pet peeves is "unsweet" tea. It's just tea! You don't take sweet tea and de-sweeten it. Chipotle makes a little more sense by dubbing theirs "not sweet" tea, but really, how hard is it to understand that if I want sweet t

Mark Nesmith: I painted this 18" X 24" oil a while back as a little pick me up on a grumpy day. Who can be grumpy staring at a turtle? This guy pretty much seemed to paint himself. In honor of Finding Nemo I call him "Crush." #art #artist #artoftheday #artsanity #art_

Mark Nesmith: A little irreverent, a lot of fun! Overwhelming consensus for the band name was Barstool Ministry. I think it suits our musical gumbo full of blues, rock, swamp pop, and country, all served up with a hefty dose of Texas swagger! I spent a little time toda
