I never expected to have a favorite fine art painter, but I absolutely love the work of Andrew "Andy" Criss who just presented his 5th Anual Outdoor Art Show in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.  Andy worked in Austin, Texas and Washington, DC in the 1990s as an illustrator and art director. In 1999 he moved to Rehoboth Beach to open a studio and pursue the goal of painting full time and has been based in Rehoboth ever since. He has exhibited in galleries in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC, and has earned numerous awards, including the Delaware Division of the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship.

Andy paints both portraits and landscapes. His commission portraits of people and animals are amazing and would make the ultimate gift for anyone! Check out his recent work in his online gallery at AndrewCriss.com
