The Last Backus Brat

Daniel Holt is the last student to learn from A.E. “Bean” Backus from 1985-1990 at his Fort Pierce Studio. He currently paints in oil using an indirect method of painting at his home studio. All the works he creates are for his own enjoyment, but available as gifts for humanitarian benefits, or simply passing it on. None of his artwork is signed on the front of the piece, the artwork is created to preserve a memory, and reveal a small glimpse into the eye of an artist.
