Howard Carr / 미국 유화작가

 

 

When an artist like Howard Carr leads you down the garden path, don’t be afraid to follow where his paintings draw you.  Carr is considered a master of color and a master teacher in the simplicity of how it works and how to do it.  His palette entices with a remarkable appetite for color and light and his inspired canvases introduce the most lush gardens in the Southwest.  He employs thick, confident brushstrokes in rich oil paints, resulting in works that are lyrical, passionate and spontaneous.

Artists Statement:

Finding fresh inspiration has never been a problem for me, because I don’t dissipate energy in competitiveness or seeking approval.  It’s an ongoing quest to perfect what I love most, painting – and, of course, the wife and cat.

I believe this is why I have a good collector base.  I work hard at making my technique, color and feeling seem simple by focusing on the important parts of the painting.
