About Me
- Charles Pompilius
- Naples, FL, United States
- I am a painter based in Naples, Florida. My work has been shown in exhibitions throughout the United States including New York, San Francisco, Milwaukee, Scottsdale, and Birmingham, MI. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Central Michigan University and a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Iowa. In 1984 I attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture on scholarship. I have taught painting at the university level, and I am the recipient of a Pollack-Krasner Award and a Michigan Council for the Arts Creative Artist Grant. In 2011 I completed the official portrait of Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, which now hangs in the capitol rotunda in Lansing. In 2013 I painted Allan Gilmour, President Emeritus, Wayne State University. In 2016 I was commissioned to paint the official portrait of U.S. Congressman Fred Upton, now hanging in the Rayburn Building in Washington, D.C. I am currently developing a series of paintings based on a floral motif.
This painting has an intelligence to it. Not that he looks like a collage graduate..I feel as if I could have conversation, and even a joke with this person.
ReplyDeleteCharles, you portray figures in light, or rather bring figures in light to an all new level.
Your son must be proud.
Beautiful painting Charles, you really captured his spirit and likeness.
ReplyDeleteI like very much your paintings and portraits.
ReplyDeleteValuable art. Congratulations.
