Charles says, “There are too many approaches to abstract art to get a firm number. So often times getting started is the most challenging part of the process. I will show some guidelines you can use to get going produce a piece of art of which you can be proud. I will do a 16″x20″ piece during the demo.”

ARTIST STATEMENT: The essence of all art is to have pleasure in giving pleasure to others. My art is the expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it. I seek to create a memory, a wish, a fantasy or moment of joy or peace in the soul of the viewer. I pursue ideas, color combinations or images that attract my attention in the abstract; or as an impression; and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual style.
