Old World Painting found its beginnings in the spring of 2002 when life-long painters and best friends, Tony Busnardo and Kent "Pasquale" Gledhill, moved to Breckenridge, Colorado.  Painting is a profession of choice for these Colorado natives, as both had ample opportunities after very successful college and post-graduate studies to find employment in other work.  All things considered, the chance to work alongside a good friend in the beautiful Rocky Mountains and enjoy the satisfaction of manual labor proved to fit their personalities and life goals.
