My name is Rick Klingbeil,and I'm an artist from Fredericksburg Va.I have been painting for the past 6 years. I began painting as a means of rehabilitation while recovering from a serious accident in Dec. of 2004 that nearly cost me my life. I take a realistic approach to my painting, and work in pencil, acrylic,and oils. My art is a reflection of mt growth spiritually, as well as a testament to my physical recovery.
