Blues In The Night Painting

Chuck is nothing if not passionate about his work. Following a career as Creative Director and principal of an advertising and design firm, he is now enjoying an “encore” career as a fine artist, concentrating in portrait and figurative oils. A “California Impressionist”, his international award-winning work is all about color and movement, with signature Fauvist oils saturated with color; often skewed, cropped and rotated to achieve dynamic tension and capture a “moment in time”. Chuck enjoys the challenge of pursuing several genres and styles. The common denominator is his goal of creating evocative work, that pulls the viewer into the composition. A recipient of the Grand Prize in International Artist's Challenge Competition, Chuck is a member of Oil Painters of America, the American Impressionists Society, Wisconsin Painters and Sculptors, The Portrait Society of America and The American Society of Portrait Artists. Chuck has also been honored with nine "Best of Show" Awards at national art festivals, and most recently First Place in the Richeson75 International Portrait Competition.
