Image Notes

When I was young  growing up in a family of 12 children, 10 of them being boys, I was  taught many of the lessons from Cinderella by my mother. It was her  favorite story, and coincidentally my wife’s also. I wasn’t sure that  being nice to my brothers at all times was a good idea, but it was what  she believed in.

My  wife loved the idea that someday she would be seen for the woman she  knew she was. And that her prince charming would sweep her off her feet  and whisk her away to a happily ever after. Forty years and eight  children later, it is apparent that she has been doing the rescuing and  providing the “happily ever after.”

In  this painting, I wanted to bring Prince Charming to the home and  circumstances of Cinderella where in my mind’s eye he could see her life  and experiences that helped shape and mold her into the positive and  happy person she was.

My mom was right. Treat your brothers well and your dreams will come true. 

About The Artist

 Eric Dowdle has a background of hard work and dedication to God, family  and country. He was born and raised in the heart of the western United  States to parents of 12 children, 2 girls and 10 boys. Many of the  stories of his youth are reflected in his artwork – a chicken stuffed in  a mailbox, a young boy surprising his mom with flowers from the  neighbor’s yard, children bravely walking a fence line or Boy Scouts  playing pranks on each other.

The Dowdle family moved to Boston  where Eric developed a fascination with folk art. This style of art  brought together the values that were instilled in him throughout his  life with his love of people, sense of humor and the ability to tell the  stories of people through the detail of the artwork.

Eric, and  his wife Deb, now live on a charming farm with their own family and a  smattering of farm animals by the Wasatch Mountains in Lindon, Utah.  After visiting beloved locations throughout the world Eric easily  proclaims that home is “my favorite place on earth.”

Eric has  been creating art for over twenty years. He started painting in his  early twenties; parting ways with college after one year, to “go make  something happen.” Making things happen is how Eric does things;  painting, exploring, marketing, and working day and night to expand the  business and his collection of over 300 paintings. Today, his original  paintings have been converted into premium gifts and keepsakes, such as  fine-art prints, and more.

Eric captivates people of all ages  with his fun, quirky personality. His wit and charm make him a natural  for television, radio and social media spotlights. He can be found  starring in his second season of “Painting the Town with Eric Dowdle” on  the BYUtv network, distributed worldwide. Sirius XM Radio has aired  hundreds of programs, “Traveling with Eric Dowdle.”
