Richard Verry

Thousands of images and scenes flow through my mind every day. I can’t capture them all. I wish I could, though I try in my artwork and writing. Still, so many of them get away from me. Most of all, I want more. I need more. "Nothing is impossible, everything is possible, it's all in the attitude." This is my personal motto I came up with when I was a teenager. My stories do a better job of capturing the images that flow through my thoughts. It is why I like to paint realism and write dramatic fiction centered on fantasy, sci-fi, and the beautifully impressive, naked female form. I found I can seize my imagery using words. It’s beautiful and makes me happy. As you read my stories or view my paintings, you can visualize me applying my motto in my creative works, just as I do in my everyday life. Maybe even more so. What about my writing... well let me tell you.... Drawing and painting left me wanting. I could capture a scene and emotions while letting viewers decide for themselves the message of the artwork. I found that lacking. I wanted more. One day, on a whim, I tried writing a longer story, one with lots of characters and their interactions, with a longer complicated plot and several sub-plots. It took years to write. When I shared it with a number of my friends, family and acquaintances, they encouraged me to publish it. The rest is history.
