I don't have a painting to post tonight but I've been thinking of sharing the work of some of my favorite painters instead. The list is long but I have to start somewhere and today I was browsing the work of Charles Movalli and marveling at his mastery of his medium-he works in oils and acrylics-and his total understanding of composition and understated, but powerful color harmony. I love the way he includes a fearless foreground in many of his paintings. I mean that the foreground leads the eye into and around the work. It may be just shapes and colors that indicate a dock or harbor but each brushstroke is perfectly placed. There are many links on the web but mostly to Galleries who represent him so I'll include the link to Bayview Galleryin Camden, Maine where you'll also enjoy the roster of other high caliber artists. Enjoy.
Charles Movalli studied with Emile Gruppe a master of the Cape Ann school and authored many books through Watson-Guptill publishers which are now out of print and considered rare books.
