Dick Fowlkes Works

"As you may know, my paintings are all about color. At nine years old, I was diagnosed with dyslexia and I was learning in a totally different way than the “norm”. I learned by sight, smell and sound. Do not give me a book,  I have learned, give me a paint brush and let me express myself. I consider my “Dickslexia” as I always thought was all my own, as a gift and talent. Expose the eyes to an object and let the brain lead you to create what you see, smell and feel. The smell of oil paint is drug for me and painting may be my best form of relaxation. I have never cared what anyone thinks of my works, as long as it makes me happy."

Dick is a hoot. Seriously, if you've met him you understand. And chances are you've met him. Dick knows A LOT of people, and if you meet him he'll be sure to find someone you know in common. He's the kind of guy that makes you feel like you've known him all your life. He is the owner of the men's boutique Peter-Blair in Richmond and also Peter-Blair Accessories which can be found in over 250 stores worldwide. He and his wife also own a home here in Brownsburg with beautiful views of Jump Mountian. They spend as many weekends and holidays as they can here and much of what Dick paints are views of Rockbridge County.
