Gallery Artist Doug Sweet

When I began to develop an interest in art my father would take me to the Denver Art Museum to view the traveling exhibits and the work in the museum's permanent collection. I was always attracted to the paintings done in the 16th and 17th century, which dealt with realistic subject matter. I found these particularly appealing because of the artist's ability to create narrative aspects using paint. They were able to tell a story without using words.
