Gene Tempelmeyer
I started this website when I was selling paintings through galleries, shows, and online. I can’t imagine ever retiring as a painter, but I have retired as an Art Salesman. I’m still happy to do commissions and sell to interested collectors, but I have retired from trying to sell my artwork.
Memories of my mother conjure the smell of oil paint, turpentine, and bring coffee. I don’t use real turpentine anymore because it is toxic, but I am happy to regularly inhale the other aromas. I learned to paint from watching Mom, and mostly from covering hundreds of canvases with coloured oil. I also work with acrylics, watercolours, and pastels, but I seem to keep coming back to oil paint.
My home is in Mississauga, a Toronto suburb. I did most of my growing up in Tennessee. My work is formed by these places and my over 40 years as a church pastor.
In retirement I have begun to write with my first published book to be released in fall, 2021.
All the paintings on this website are either for sale, sold, or not for sale. If want to know about any particular piece, I respond most quickly to email.
